DSM-5: The New Criteria Single Spectrum but Significant Individual Variability • Severity of ASD Symptoms • Pattern of Onset and Clinical Course • Etiologic factors • Cognitive abilities (IQ) • Associated conditions CLINICIANS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO DESCRIBE THESE DETAILS WITH DIAGNOSTIC SPECIFIERS
DSM-5: The New Criteria Proposed Changes: Number of Symptom Domains • THREE will become TWO – Social Communication domain will be created by merger of key symptoms from the DSM-IV Social and Communication domains – Fixated interests and repetitive behavior or activity JUSTIFICATION: • Deficits in communication are intimately related to social deficits. The two are “manifestations” of a single set of symptoms that are often present in differing contexts. • This de-emphasizes language skills not employed in the context of social communication. • Fixes the “double-counting” problem of DSM-IV
