An audit of the processes and tools used in different services across the South-West Region to diagnose Asperger syndrome in adults / Joe LOWENSTEIN in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 14-1 (May 2013)
[article]
Titre : An audit of the processes and tools used in different services across the South-West Region to diagnose Asperger syndrome in adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Joe LOWENSTEIN, Auteur ; Karen SUTTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.80-88 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Joe Lowenstein is a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of Exeter and Dr Karen Sutton s a Consultant Clinical Psychologist working within a community service for Adults with Asperger syndrome (AS) in Dorset. In this paper, they argue that services in the UK use a wide range of tools and procedures to screen and diagnose adults with Asperger syndrome (AS) and that identification rates in different areas vary a great deal. This suggests that current diagnostic practice is an important area for further investigation. The aim of their study was to identify which tools and interview schedules were used by clinicians across a number of different specialist AS services in the South West of England. The findings show great variation in the methods used and the time taken to carry out the assessment and raises questions about the implications of different practice in terms of the accuracy of the assessment, cost implications and how questions about which areas should be assessed and in what way, might be answered. Given that the new DSM V is not likely to include Asperger syndrome as a separate diagnostic category, then the future of assessment services which are currently set up to assess this population is also of interest.
