Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Redirect disruptive behavior with recreational activities to channel excess energy. The re-maining options will have little positive effect on the child's energy level.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Children with autistic disorder display profoundly disturbed social relationships. Essentially, they lack social reciprocity. They seem aloof and indifferent to others and prefer inanimate objects to people. The remaining options are not necessarily true of this mental illness.
