Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder Subtypes Handout

Description

This handout was created to provide educational professionals with information pertaining to the five specific subtypes within the umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorders. These disorders are diagnosed based on a set of criteria provided in the DSM–IV and include impairments in three general domains of functioning: delayed and atypical development of language, communication, and play skills and the presence of repetitive and restricted patterns of behaviors, interests, and activities. Additional information on ASD can be found in our professional development videos.
