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?

High-functioning autism
Visual deficit
Prader-Willi syndrome
Shyness

Explanation

Answer: A-High-functioning autism may explain David’s symptoms.
A child who is simply shy probably won’t exhibit language delays. The symptoms of autism range from a child who has a few language and social skills delays to one who is severely impacted. Early intervention is critical for the best outcome for both groups.
