Using DSM-IV, patients could be diagnosed with four separate disorders: autistic
disorder, Aspergers disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, or the catch-all
diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified.
Researchers found that these separate diagnoses were not consistently applied
across different clinics and treatment centers []. People with ASD tend to have
communication deficits, such as responding inappropriately in conversations,
misreading nonverbal interactions, or having difficulty building friendships
appropriate to their age. In addition, people with ASD may be overly dependent
on routines, highly sensitive to changes in their environment, or intensely
focused on inappropriate items. Again, the symptoms of people with ASD will
fall on a continuum, with some individuals showing mild symptoms and others
having much more severe symptoms. This spectrum will allow clinicians to
account for the variations in symptoms and behaviors from person to person.
