Answer to Question 1

A
Autistic disorder involves distortions in development of social skills and language that include
perception, motor movement, attention, and reality testing. Caretakers nearly always mention the
child's failure to develop interpersonal skills. Option B is more relevant for assessment of ADHD.
Option C is more relevant to children with separation anxiety. Option D becomes more important in
the assessment of children with conduct disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A
The work of grieving is over when the bereaved can remember the individual realistically and
acknowledge both the pleasure and disappointments associated with the loved one. The individual is
then free to enter into new relationships and activities. The other options suggest unresolved grief.
