This assignment presents a clinical case formulation for Luyanda based on the DSM-5-TR criteria, with a primary diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Level 1 (requiring support). The essay justifies the diagnosis by analysing persistent deficits in social communication and interaction, including deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, nonverbal communication, and relationship development, as well as restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour such as self-injurious behaviours, insistence on sameness, fixated interest in gaming, and hyper-reactivity to auditory stimuli. It further provides a differential diagnosis to rule out Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, arguing that ASD better explains Luyanda's full symptom profile, early developmental history, and average intellectual functioning, supported by current literature.
