31. (b) Adaptive Functioning - Problems in this type of functioning causes damage related to the socioeconomic and developmental aspects of the children's lives and also hinders the capability of individuals to fulfill their social roles and responsibilities. For a person to be diagnosed with IDD,it is a crucial aspect to be evaluated on their adaptive functioning in their lives.
32. (b) Meet at least 2 of 11 symptom criteria- Tobacco use disorder is mentioned in DSM-5 under the substance abuse disorders and now it is more specified in terms of nicotine dependence and withdrawal symptoms. There are in total three criterias with a sum of 15 sub features and also four markers that confirm the presence of the diosrder. A person must have atleast two of the 11 symptoms from the first category of criteria for a period of minimum 12 months according to the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
33. (b) The symptoms were better accounted for by an Intellectual Disability Disorder- Specific learning disorder in written expression can be associated with reading difficulties and even problems with figures or calaculus but the symptoms must not be better accounted for by an IDD because specific learning disoders include conditions like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dysclculia etc and if the symptoms are more in line with the symptoms of IDD, then the child cannot receive a diagnosis of specific learning disability.
