Which of the following statements from a parent indicate a knowledge deficit? And then come up with 3 truths about autism and 1 misconception.

"Check all that apply" makes questions more challenging.

Also note what your text/lectures have said; you want everyone to be able to answer them. There's no sense throwing in a question about neurobiological stuff that the text doesn't address, just to make it more challenging
