What are the Autism Severity Levels DSM-5?
DSM-5:
DSM-5 is the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) released the DSM-5 in 2013. It is where a doctor or psychologist finds the description and criteria of all of the disorders and behavioural conditions. As medical knowledge changes, the APA releases updated versions of the DSM.
With the release of the DSM-5, one of the major changes to the autism section was the combining of the communication and social impairment criteria. Another change was adding the severity levels.
There are 3 levels:
Level 1 is equivalent to requiring support.
Level 2 implies requiring substantial support.
Level 3 denotes requiring very substantial support.
Requiring support 1:33
Requiring substantial support 2:03
Requiring very substantial support 2:42
