Spectrum of disorders for autism - Answer -Autism (classic): repetitive or restrictive

became nonverbal, need for sameness (structure/routine), average/below average IQ

awkwardness
-PDD-NOS: displays some characteristics of the disorder but not enough to make a diagnosis
-Now called autistic spectrum disorders
---Asperger no longer exists
---Mild (higher functioning), moderate (classic autism), severe (severe autism)
-Autism is one specific disorder within the ASD umbrella.
-IDEA '04 lacks specificity.
-The DSM-IV-TR® definition includes impairments in:
---Communication.
---Social skills.
---Restricted range of interests/repetitive patterns of behavior.
-Approximately 75% of people with autism also have intellectual disabilities, while 25% have
average or above-average intelligence.
-The number of autistic savants is very small, yet these cases are the most interesting to the
general public.
IDEIA definition of autism - Answer -(i) Autism means a developmental disability significantly
affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before
age three, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. Other characteristics often
associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements,
resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to
sensory experiences.
