| Abstract |
The revision of the diagnostic criteria for ASD has been widely anticipated and is expected to be an important contribution to the refinement of the definition of ASD. In the upcoming DSM-5, several changes have been made compared to the previous diagnostic criteria. They include no emphasis on language delay and age of onset except that ASD is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms in early childhood although the disorder may first be diagnosed later in life. The three areas of impairments in ASD are reduced to two areas, namely a social-communication domain and a behavioral domain including fixated interests and repetitive behaviors. In addition, the clinical presentation of ASD in the individual is described in more detail in terms of clinical specifiers. In addition to reporting these changes in the classification, the major international guidelines are introduced and a brief description of good clinical practice of assessment and the overall principles of intervention is provided. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 January 2013.
All research outputs
#6,367,980
of 22,693,205 outputs
Outputs from European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
#676
of 1,636 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#69,271
of 282,271 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
#4
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,693,205 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,636 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 282,271 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
