Episode 27: Breaking down the diagnostic criteria for autism

Autism In Real Life - Un pódcast de Ilia Walsh, Creator and Host

In this episode I talk about the current criteria used to determine an autism diagnosis. This criteria is from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) which is the handbook used by health care professionals in the United States and much of the world as the authoritative guide to the diagnosis of mental disorders. My goal is to help people better understand the criteria that is used by clinicians. This is part 2 of a 6 part mini course.
