Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Manic or depressed episodes are characteristics of bipolar disorder, not autism. Autism is characterized by a triad of impairments: social isolation, communication impairment, and strange repetitive behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Recent studies suggest that nicotinic dysregulation may play a role in child and adolescent disorders. Maternal smoking during pregnancy increases the risk for ADHD in children. Smoking during pregnancy is not related to personality disorder, unhappy memories, or benzodiazepine withdrawal.
