Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, D, E
The impairment in communication is severe and affects both verbal and nonverbal communication. Children with autism spectrum disorder may manifest delayed and deviant language development, as evidenced by echolalia (repetition of words or phrases spoken by others) and a tendency to be extremely concrete in interpretation of language. Pronoun reversals and abnormal intonation are also common.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The first-line recommended medications for ADHD symptoms are the psychostimulants and atomoxetine. It is not unusual for two psychostimulants or a psychostimulant and atomoxetine to be prescribed together for maximum response. Second-line medications include bupropion and other antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants). Then, if symptoms are not improved, alpha agonists (guanfacine or clonidine) are usually used.
