Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the core characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD primarily involves challenges in social communication and interaction, along with restricted or repetitive behaviors.
Step 2: Review each option and compare it to the known symptoms of ASD. For example, difficulty with social communication and interaction aligns with ASD's core features.
Step 3: Recognize that persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness are more characteristic of depressive disorders, not ASD.
Step 4: Identify that sudden onset of hallucinations is typically associated with psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, rather than ASD.
Step 5: Note that frequent mood swings without apparent cause are more indicative of mood disorders like bipolar disorder, not ASD.
