The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM-5) was published in May 2013, and with its publication came a surge of controversy and debate. Many clinicians and researchers voiced concern over the various additions, deletions, and changes within the DSM-5ve . Of specific concern was the addition of a category called “Autism Spectrum Disorder,” which combined previous diagnoses of “autistic disorder” and “Asperger’s syndrome.”

Many who disagree with this integration believe that the diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and Asperger’s syndrome should be two distinct diagnoses, rather than a continuum of symptoms.. Other believe that this change will bring more services to more people, with many treatments for ASD being covered by insurance providers. This has led to a divide among child-focused and adolescent-focused practitioners in the diagnoses of these disorders.

then answer the following questions:

1. The DSM-5 has collapsed specific autistic symptoms into the same criteria, changing the required criteria from three to two. What symptoms were combined and why?

2. What is one potential advantage of this change from autism and Asperger’s syndrome diagnoses to the Autism Spectrum Disorders diagnosis in the DSM-5?

3. What are the possible research implications now that there are no longer distinct diagnoses for forms of Autism Spectrum Disorders under the DSM-5?

4. Name one issue related to a child or an adult who was previously diagnosed with PDD-NOS, Asperger’s syndrome, or autistic disorder no longer meeting the criteria as given in the DSM-5.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
