| Résumé : |
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurobiological disorder that is defined purely by observable behaviors, because no reliable biomarkers have yet been found. Since Kanner described autism as a syndrome, the definition of autism has been refined. The original emphasis was on extreme aloofness and positive signs of abnormality in repetitive and sensorimotor behaviors, but currently there is greater awareness of the importance of more subtle reciprocal social communication as a core feature of autism. Significant heterogeneity has been observed in symptom manifestations of ASD associated with various factors including age, gender, cognitive functioning, language levels, adaptive behaviors, and comorbidity. Standard diagnostic instruments have been used widely for the comprehensive assessment of ASD based on information from both caregiver interviews and direct clinical observations. Recently proposed changes in the major framework of ASD diagnostic criteria are also discussed. |
