Unlike those with autism spectrum disorder, those with reactive attachment disorder have a history of:

  • A. Schizoid personality disorder
  • B. Autism spectrum disorder
  • C. Reactive attachment disorder
  • D. Disinhibited social engagement disorder
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Reactive attachment disorder. Individuals with reactive attachment disorder have a history of severe social neglect, which distinguishes it from autism spectrum disorder. Choice A, Schizoid personality disorder, is incorrect as it is not typically associated with the history described in reactive attachment disorder. Choice B, Autism spectrum disorder, is incorrect because individuals with autism spectrum disorder do not necessarily have a history of severe social neglect. Choice D, Disinhibited social engagement disorder, is also incorrect as it is a separate attachment disorder characterized by indiscriminate social behavior, not necessarily a history of neglect.
