The article compares the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in two versions of a manual. The researchers looked at how the criteria for diagnosing autism changed from one manual to another. They found that the newer manual, DSM-5, has different criteria for diagnosing autism compared to the older manual, DSM-IV. This means that some individuals who would have been diagnosed with autism using DSM-IV criteria may not meet the criteria in DSM-5.
