He rarely uses speech to communicate. He remains confined to himself. If his routine is disturbed, he becomes restless.

Ans. D. AutismAutistic disorder is characterized by lack of interest in social interactions, severely impaired verbal and nonverbal communication, stereotyped behaviors, and a very restricted range of interests. Children with autism do not involve themselves in imaginative and imitative play and can spend hours lining and spinning things or dismantling toys and putting them together. Mentally retarded children are developmentally delayed, but their social interaction and interest in people are appropriate for their mental age.
