DSM-5
Social Reciprocity
¨ Problems ranging from Children with autism tend to communicate
but not always for social purposes
¤ abnormal social approach
¤ failure of normal back and forth conversation
¤ failure to initiate or respond to social interaction
¤ reduced sharing of interests and emotions
The typical child will
ask a lot of questions Example of
to get information or blowing bubbles;
tell you to look and kids with autism
get you to pay with only watch
attention, share in the bubbles while
experience with them. the average
child will look
Children on the
back between
spectrum do not
you and the Kids with autism
necessarily want to bubbles (back & lack shared (joint)
share their forth) attention; part of
experiences with social reciprocity
anyone, would rather
be alone
2. Deficits in
Nonverbal Communication
¨ Poorly integrated verbal & nonverbal
communication
¨ Abnormalities in eye contact & body language
births
¨ A genetic disorder - X chromosome
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD)
(DSM-IV)
¨ Described by Theodore Heller in 1908
¤ Similar to children described by Kanner despite their early
typical development (later onset than Rett’s or AD)
¨ Marked regression in multiple areas following at least
2 years of normal development
¤ Significant loss of previously acquired skills in at least 2
areas of development, including language skills,
social or adaptive skills, bowel or bladder control,
play skills, or motor skills
¤ Deficits in social, communication, & restricted repetitive
and stereotyped patterns of behavior typical of Autistic
Disorder
Asperger’s Disorder (DSM-IV)
¨ Impaired social relationships and restricted or
unusual behaviors or activities, but without the
language delays associated with Autistic
Disorder
¨ Individuals show few cognitive impairments and
usually have IQ scores within the average range
¤ No significant delays in language development or cognitive
development prior to age 3
¤ Severe and sustained deficits in social interaction
¤ Development of restricted repetitive & stereotyped patterns
of behavior, interests, or activities Adapted from Durand (2014)
PDD – NOS (DSM-IV)
¨ “Subthreshold” diagnostic category
¨ DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria: Less strict criteria; only need to have some
impairments (too laxed)
¤ Pervasive impairment in social interaction
¤ Pervasive impairment in communication skills OR presence of
stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, or activities which
does not meet the criteria for a specific PDD
¤ Presence of impairments that do not meet the criteria for AD
because of late age of onset, atypical symptoms, or subthreshold
¨ Differences from autistic disorder
¤ age of onset
¤ communication deficits less prominent
¤ more heterogeneous
In DSM-IV, we had 3 Core Characteristics:
Difference
between DSM IV
and DSM V
criteria will be
on exam!!!
Restricted &
Repetitive Behaviors
Now, in DSM-V, we have 2 Core Characteristics
Social Communication
AND
Social Interaction
Restricted Behavior,
Interests,
& Activities
Diagnosis of ASD in DSM-V
A. Social/communication deficits (not accounted for by DD)
1. Social-Emotional Reciprocity
Ø e.g., abnormal social approach
Ø e.g., failure of normal back-and-forth conversation
Ø e.g., reduced sharing of interests and emotions
Ø e.g., total lack of initiation of social interaction
2. Nonverbal communication
Ø e.g., poorly integrated verbal & nonverbal communication
Ø e.g., abnormalities in EC & body language
Ø e.g., deficits in understanding & use of nonverbal communication
Ø e.g., total lack of facial expressions or gestures
3. Developing & Maintaining Relationships
Ø e.g., adjusting behavior to suit different social contexts
Ø e.g., difficulties in imaginative play
Ø e.g., difficulties making friends
Ø e.g., no interest in relating to others
B. Restricted, repetitive pattern of behavior, interests, or activities
1. Stereotyped or repetitive speech, motor behaviors, or use of objects
2. Excessive adherence to routines or resistance to change
3. Highly restricted, fixated interests (abnormal in intensity or focus)
4. Hypo-and-hyper sensory reactivity or interests
C. Symptoms must be present in early childhood (but may not manifest)
D. Symptoms must limit and impair everyday functioning
