Question 1

Which view does the book advocate (support) with regard to understanding why an autistic child would exhibit one form of self-stimulation after another form had already been eliminated? (hint: what is the behavioral view?)

Accepted Answer

A)   symptom substitution
B)   concurrent contingencies
C)   extinction
D)   medical model B

Question 2

For each of the following concepts, provide an example from the book or from your own life.
-Symptom substitution myth

Accepted Answer

The symptom substitution myth is the belief that if one symptom or problem is resolved, another symptom or problem will take its place. An example of this from the book "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk is when a trauma survivor experiences relief from one symptom, such as anxiety, only to have another symptom, such as chronic pain, emerge in its place.

In my own life, I have experienced the symptom substitution myth when I successfully addressed my stress and anxiety through therapy and mindfulness practices, only to find that I started experiencing physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach issues. This demonstrates how the mind and body are interconnected, and how addressing one symptom may lead to the emergence of another.
