Webinar: Towards a new definition of Autism - Changes in the DSM diagnostic criteria
The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM -5), to be published in 2013, is introducing significant changes to current diagnostic definitions of Autism and related conditions. In particular, with the introduction of the new diagnostic criteria, some of the diagnostic concepts that have influenced clinical practice, research studies, and cultural perceptions of Autism will no longer be used; most notably the concepts of 'Asperger's Disorder', 'Pervasive Developmental Disorders' and the 'triad of symptoms'.
The Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre (OTARC) is hosting a free public webinar to discuss these changes. The webinar is open to all interested people, including professionals and families.
