Answer to Question 1

D, E
Asperger's and Tourette's disorders have genetic links and tend to occur in familial patterns. The distracters result from environmental and situational events.

Answer to Question 2

A
One strategy for avoiding acting on inappropriate urges is to avoid environments and circumstances that evoke those urges; for a pedophile this would include avoiding all situations that would likely result in contact with children. Pedophilia is a persistent disorder, and elimination of fantasies about children would be unrealistic; a patient reporting that the fantasies had ceased might not be fully self-aware or honest. A diminished sex drive or a healthy sex life with an appropriate partner does not necessarily reduce the desire for sexual contact with children.
