spectrum disorder (ASD). One of the teachers inquires why it seems like more white

questions.

While you are seeing a 6-year old boy for his well child visit, you observe the child to
have a strong desire to speak at length about sea animals. He has a vast fund of
knowledge on the subject and engages in sharing his information as a monologue in a
monotone voice. He makes poor eye contact and does not heed your efforts to get him
to move on to another topic. When you inquire about how things are going for the child
in first grade, mother shares that he is doing very well academically, is an excellent
reader and great at math. The only problems that have come up relate to making
friends. The teacher has told the mother that the child does not have friends and spends
recess alone. The other children find his constant talk about whales annoying, and they
think that he is weird.
According to DSM 5, which of the following statements is true?
A.This child should be evaluated for a possible diagnosis of Asperger's Di - answerD
The office manager at your pediatric practice inserted milestone checklists in every
examination room to help guide the surveillance process. These checklists help remind
parents and providers of particular milestones that a child should have reached by a
certain age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed these
checklists using an informal process that involved consensus opinion among expert
workgroups. You recently read an article that the American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends general developmental screening at the 9-, 18-, and 30-month well child
visits.
