Clinical Applications of DSM-5, Part I: Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Intellectual Disabilities, Learning and Language Disorders, Autism, and ADHDCarlson, Gabrielle A
First, we will review the important revisions made from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) to the DSM-5, with respect to ASD and ADHD. Next, we will cover the similarities and differences between ASD and ADHD classification in...
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Tourette Syndrome (TS), have been extensively studied for their multifaceted impacts on social and emotional well-being. Recently, there has been growing interest in their...
disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders, which are among the most widely diagnosed, and widely pathologized, disorders of childhood and adolescence. Both a child’s underlying neural substrate and the environmental pressures experienced at critical times in development select for the behaviors...
Social skills are frequently impaired in neurodevelopmental disorders and genetic conditions, including 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Although often assessed with questionnaires, direct assessment provides a mor
