The nurse is caring for a child newly diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Which is the most appropriate overall outcome for this child?
A) To function more effectively in social and emotional interactions
B) To stay on task
C) To acknowledge the effects of one's own behavior on others
D) To acknowledge personal strengths
Answer: A
Autism spectrum disorders involve difficulties in the quality of both the social interaction and the communication of the child. In social interaction, the child may have problems making eye contact, fail to develop appropriate peer relationships, fail to spontaneously seek out shared enjoyment with other people, or show no social or emotional reciprocity. Children with spectrum disorders may or may not be able to acknowledge the effects of their behavior on others, stay on task, or acknowledge personal strengths.
