Answer to Question 1

B
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders almost universally have impaired relationships and need help learning effective social skills to support relationships. Anger and medication management might or might not be needs of such individuals. Deficits are constant, so relapse is not an issue.

Answer to Question 2

C
Donepezil selectively inhibits ACh; however, some peripheral effects, including bradycardia, are sometimes seen. The other parameters are within normal limits.
