[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That may all be very true for the DSM-IV criteria, but those criteria were published in 1994. The current understanding of ASD is that it can be mild. The National Institute of Health says in multiple publications that a person with ASD may only have mild symptoms, but still has ASD. The DSM-V criteria clarifies severity levels pretty well, and those criteria are more reflective of our current knowledge of ASD. [/quote] First, the above info is from the DSM IV update in 2000. Actually, the DSM 5 is a lot more stringent on severity levels. Most of the PDD-NOS kids won't qualify under an ASD under it, early studies are showing. [/quote]
