Dsm-Iv Vs dsm-v-2

The document compares the DSM-IV and DSM-V diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder. The DSM-IV used a 3-factor model and required meeting criteria in all 3 areas, while the DSM-V uses a 2-factor model of social communication deficits and restrictive, repetitive behaviors. The DSM-V also introduced the diagnosis of social communication disorder and changed criteria to better identify higher-functioning individuals.
