A

Autism spectrum disorder

36
Q

What is the criteria for ASD?

Which area is very specific for autism?

A

A. persistent deficits in social communcation and social interaction across multiple contexts
B. restricted, reptetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities
C. Symptoms must be present in the early developmental period
D. Symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other
important areas of current functioning.
E. These disturbances are not better explained by intellectual disability or global
developmental delay.

Area B

37
Q

(blank) and autism spectrum disorder frequently co‐occur; to make comorbid diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder
and intellectual disability, social communication should be below that expected for general developmental level.

A

Intellectual disability

38
Q

In ASD, there are persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by …..?

A
  1. Deficits in social‐emotional reciprocity
  2. Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction
  3. Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships
39
Q

In ASD, there is restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, as manifested by at least two of what?

A
  1. Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech
  2. Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of
    verbal or nonverbal behavior

  4. Hyper‐or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the
    environment.
40
Q

What are the concerns about ASD in DSM-5?

A

Sensitivity has been “sacrificed” in order to improve specificity
Merging all pervasive developmental disorders into one may result in loss of uniqueness/identity of Asperger’s Disorder
