The parents of a 4-year-old son bring him to the local
physician for assessment. The child evidences strong
physical dependency on his parents and speaks to the
physician shyly, using two and three word sentences. He
replies “no” initially to any request, although he later
acquiesces. When shown a picture book, he turns the
pages and pats the pictures in the book. When given a
set of blocks he is able to build a tower of about six
cubes. His parents report that he was toilet trained in
the past 6 months and learned to say his name in the
past month. When he is placed with other boys his age,
he prefers to watch them rather than interact with them
directly. Although further testing will help to confirm
initial impressions, based on this examination, the
physician should tell the parents that the boy is most
likely which of the following?
(A) Autistic
(B) Developmentally normal
© Hearing impaired
(d)Learning disabled
(E)mentally retarded
(F) suffering from childhood dengerative disorder
