Autism spectrum disorder among first-visit depressed adult patients: diagnostic clues from backgrounds and past history. Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ASD and ADHD): DSM-5, ICD-10, and ICD-11. ‘What’s up, (R)DoC?’-can identifying core dimensions of early functioning help us understand, and then reduce, developmental risk for mental disorders? J. The present article discusses the classification of Autism 'Spectrum' according to new version of an international psychiatric classification system, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5. Arlington: American Psychiatric Association 2013. Studies of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), conducted since 1985, have reported progressively higher prevalence, with estimates ranging from 0.07-2.64 1-4.

The criteria for ASD in DSM-5 were considerably revised from those of ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-IV. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in DSM-5 comprises the former DSM-IV-TR diagnoses of Autistic Disorder, Aspergers Disorder and PDD-nos. From this perspective, we propose a subthreshold autism as a unique psychological/behavioral model for research that could help to understand the neurodevelopmental trajectories leading from autistic traits to a broad range of mental disorders.ĪdAS spectrum Asperger's disorder Autism spectrum disorder DSM-5 Neuroatypicality Subthreshold autism spectrum.Īmerican Psychiatric Association. This model includes, but is not limited to, the so-called broad autism phenotype spanning across the general population that does not fully meet Autism Spectrum Disorder criteria. Based on the review of Asperger's Autistische Psychopathie, from first descriptions through the DSM-IV Asperger's Disorder and up to the recent DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder, the paper aims to propose a Subthreshold Autism Spectrum Model that encompasses not only threshold-level manifestations but also mild/atypical symptoms, gender-specific features, behavioral manifestations and personality traits associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This latter includes an important retrieval of the European classical psychopathological concepts of adult autism to which Hans Asperger referred in his work.

Growing interest has recently been devoted to partial forms of autism, lying at the diagnostic boundaries of those conditions previously diagnosed as Asperger's Disorder. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in early childhood that is associated with a wide range of symptoms and ability levels.
