autism Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis

shared by Tero Toivanen on 03 Jul 09 - Cached
  • The histories of autism and Asperger’s Disorder (AD), based on original contributions by Kanner and Asperger, are reviewed in relation to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria.
  • Based on up-to-date empirical research, however, it appears that AD and autism are not qualitatively distinct disorders, but are different quantitative manifestations of the same disorder.
  • The differences between AD and autism may be a function of individual variability in these areas, not the manifestation of qualitatively distinct disorders.
