  3. (3) It is primarily the ability to hear that is affected in Autism Spectrum Disorder.
  4. (4) Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder exhibit a preference for new stimuli every day.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) Sensory integration and regulation help children with ASD.

  1. Many children with autism are over- or under-sensitive to sound, light, touch or movement.
  2. Activities that help them process and regulate these sensations calm them and help them take part in learning.
  3. ASD mainly affects social communication and brings repetitive behaviour and a liking for routine, so (1) and (4) are wrong; hearing loss is a different condition, so (3) is wrong.

Trap: (4) reverses the real pattern; these children prefer sameness.
