Answer to Question 1

C
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. The distracters are expected behaviors for a 3-year-old child.

Answer to Question 2

A
Unless a physical attack has taken place, verbal limit-setting should precede the use of more restrictive measures.
