Question

Assertion: Some children do not maintain an eye contact and have limited social interactions with others. They also show stereotypical and repetitive patterns of behaviour.

Reason: Anti-social personality disorder leads to impulsive behaviour and makes one remorseless.

Options

• Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

• Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

• Assertion is true and Reason is false.

• Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Answer 1

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

Explanation:

The Assertion properly describes the primary clinical symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder in children, which are centred on social impairments and repetitive habits. Meanwhile, Reason provides an accurate diagnostic description of Antisocial Personality Disorder, which causes adults to lack remorse and exhibit impulsive behaviour. Because these two statements describe completely different psychological circumstances, the Reason cannot explain the conduct described in the Assertion.
