You have learned that the conceptualization of autism spectrum disorders as diagnoses has evolved, with the current DSM conceptualizing one neurological disorder with common characteristics, which are presented on a wide continuum, rather than separate disorders such as Asperger’s disorder or autistic disorder.
Watch the video It’s a Different World http://search.alexanderstreet.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/view/work/1780170. You may use the link provided or locate the video in the AUO library.
Describe strengths and challenges that were noted for the children in the video?
Drawing on your readings, the video, and any other peer-reviewed sources you find relevant, explain whether research supports separate disorders (e.g., Asperger’s disorder, autistic disorder) or one disorder with a continuum of severity.
