A nurse is performing an assessment on a 9-year-old child who had been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Which of the following findings would the nurse expect to observe?

A: While muttering to themselves can be observed in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), it is not a definitive characteristic. Denying hallucinations is more related to psychotic disorders rather than ASD. B: Children with ASD typically have difficulties with social interactions and are less likely to freely walk up to strangers and engage in conversation. This behavior is more characteristic of children without ASD. C: Poor eye contact and lack of verbal response to questions are common observations in children with ASD. These behaviors reflect the social communication deficits that are central to the diagnosis of ASD. D: Getting into fights with teachers is not a specific characteristic of ASD. While some children with ASD may exhibit challenging behaviors, this is not a defining feature of the disorder.
