Mrs. Jones has noticed that kindergartner David is very bright, but he lacks language skills and has a hard time making friends. He rarely makes eye contact and doesn’t show much emotion. She assumes that he is just shy. Which of the following might explain David’s symptoms?
  1. High-functioning autism
  2. Visual deficit
  3. Prader-Willi syndrome
  4. Shyness
Explanation
Answer: A-High-functioning autism may explain David’s symptoms.
