ANS: C
Because children on the autism spectrum have difficulties in communication, a hearing test is in order to rule out any physiological cause contributing to this manifestation. Continued monitoring is always appropriate, but that is not the best option. Parents usually do have concerns that are valid regarding their child. Referrals to school-based or early intervention programs should not wait for a definitive diagnosis.
