Answer to Question 1

D
Autistic children can benefit from specialized educational programs that address their special needs. Day care programs generally do not have resources to meet the needs of severely impaired children. To best meet the needs of an autistic child, the public school may refer the child to a specialized program. A sitter might not have the skills to interact with an autistic child.

Answer to Question 2

D
The gene causing fragile X syndrome is transmitted by the mother. Fragile X syndrome is most common in males, is congenital, and is not transmitted by a male carrier.
