Three Diagnostic Systems for Autism: DSM-III, DSM-III-R, and ICD-10.
Volkmar, Fred R.; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v22 n4 p483-92 Dec 1992
This paper compared clinicians' diagnosis and DSM-III (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), DSM-III-R (Revised), and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) diagnoses of 52 individuals with autism and 62 nonautistic, developmentally disordered individuals. The DSM-III-R system overdiagnosed the presence of autism, and ICD-10 closely paralleled diagnoses of clinicians and DSM-III. (Author/JDD)
