108. Why did DSM-5 authors replace the category of autistic disorder with autism spectrum disorder?

 

The DSM-5 authors replaced the category of autistic disorder with “autism spectrum disorder.” The main reason for changing the term was to provide a more reliable and valid distinction between children who clearly show “typical development” and those who demonstrate the range of deficits in communication and social behaviors that DSM-IV-TR attempted to differentiate. Although it was evident that neurological differences exist between people with and without autism spectrum disorder, the basis for these differences and their implications were not clear. According to this view, the diagnosis of Asperger’s disorder was removed, and individuals with these symptoms are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

110. Do you agree that the symptoms of ADHD appear in different forms in adults compared to children? Give reasons in support of your answer.

 

Once regarded as a disorder restricted to childhood, clinicians and researchers now view ADHD as having the potential to continue into adulthood. The symptoms of ADHD appear in different forms in adults compared to children. Adults with ADHD are less likely to demonstrate hyperactivity and impulsivity, and are more likely to continue to have symptoms of inattentiveness. Their symptoms fit a picture consistent with deficits in executive functioning, meaning that they are more likely to have difficulty organizing tasks, make careless mistakes, lose things, and perform tasks that involve prioritizing activities on the basis of importance.

Where as children may show greater evidence of restlessness and impulsivity, adult ADHD involves difficulties in maintaining attentional focus.
