The aim of the current study is to investigate challenging behavior in children who may no longer meet criteria for an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis according to the proposed fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5).
Children and adolescents (n = 459) were separated into three groups including those who met criteria for ASD according to the DSM-5 criteria (n = 219); those who will no longer qualify for an ASD diagnosis according to the DSM-5 but met criteria according to the DSM-IV-TR (n = 109); and a control group (n = 131). Scores on the Autism Spectrum Disorders - Problem Behaviors for Children (ASD-PB-C) were compared among groups.
The DSM-5 captured a slightly more impaired population in terms of problem behavior.
Implications regarding access to treatment for those no longer meeting criteria need to be taken into consideration in the coming months.
本研究旨在调查那些根据拟议的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》（DSM - 5）第五版可能不再符合自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）诊断标准的儿童的挑战性行为。
将儿童和青少年（n = 459）分为三组，包括根据DSM - 5标准符合ASD标准的儿童（n = 219）；根据DSM - 5不再符合ASD诊断标准但根据DSM - IV - TR符合标准的儿童（n = 109）；以及一个对照组（n = 131）。比较了各组在《儿童自闭症谱系障碍 - 问题行为》（ASD - PB - C）上的得分。
就问题行为而言，DSM - 5涵盖的人群受损程度略高。
在未来几个月中，需要考虑对那些不再符合标准的儿童获得治疗的影响。
