    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True, but there are ways to encourage healthy learning and development
    Explanation
    This statement is true because autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that cannot be cured. However, there are various interventions and therapies available that can help individuals with autism to improve their learning and development. These interventions focus on promoting communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors, which can lead to better outcomes and quality of life for individuals with autism. Therefore, while autism itself cannot be cured, there are ways to support individuals with autism in their learning and development journey.

    A. Excluding them from everyday activities
    Explanation
    Excluding someone with a disability from everyday activities is not a beneficial way to help and encourage them. This can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and a lack of opportunities for growth and development. It is important to include individuals with disabilities in all aspects of life, promoting inclusivity and providing support and accommodations as needed. Positive reinforcement, behavioral training, regulated medicine, and specialized therapy are all beneficial ways to help and encourage someone with a disability.

    • True

    Explanation
    Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals differently. The symptoms and severity of autism can vary greatly from person to person. Some individuals may have mild symptoms and be highly functional, while others may have more severe symptoms and require significant support. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that everyone is affected by autism in the same way.

    Autism is sometimes referred to as a hidden disability because...

    • You cannot always tell by looking at someone that they are autistic

    • It affects how you function on the inside more than how you look on the outside

    • Many people with autism feel misunderstood because it can be difficult to relate to and understand

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Autism is sometimes referred to as a hidden disability because it cannot always be determined by physical appearance. It affects individuals internally, impacting their functioning and behavior more than their outward appearance. Additionally, many people with autism feel misunderstood because it can be challenging for others to relate to and understand their experiences. Therefore, all of the given options contribute to why autism is considered a hidden disability.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Struggling to share enjoyment, interests and achievements relates to the criteria for atypical language development?

    • True

    • False, it relates to atypical social development

    Correct Answer
    A. False, it relates to atypical social development
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that struggling to share enjoyment, interests, and achievements is related to atypical social development, not atypical language development. This means that individuals who have difficulty sharing their interests and achievements may have challenges in their social interactions and communication skills, rather than in their language abilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Autism severity can be related to someone's IQ. A lower IQ usually means their autism will be more severe.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that research has shown a correlation between autism severity and IQ. Individuals with lower IQs tend to exhibit more severe symptoms of autism. This suggests that cognitive abilities play a role in the manifestation of autism symptoms, with lower IQs being associated with more pronounced challenges in social communication, behavior, and sensory processing.

    • 1 in 10

    • 1 in 75

    • 1 in 100

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 in 100
    Explanation
    Approximately 1 in 100 people are autistic on average. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. It is a relatively common condition, with a prevalence rate of around 1%. This means that for every 100 individuals, one is likely to be autistic.

    • Broad range of language abilities

    • Ranges from non-verbal to complex communication

    • Lack of peer relationships

    • Echoing what others say

    Correct Answer
    A. Lack of peer relationships
    Explanation
    Atypical Language Development is typically characterized by a broad range of language abilities, ranging from non-verbal to complex communication. It is also common for individuals with atypical language development to echo what others say. However, the one characteristic that does not typically accompany atypical language development is a lack of peer relationships. Individuals with atypical language development may still have the ability to form relationships and interact with their peers, although they may face challenges in communication.
