DSM-5 Autism Criteria

This week on Asking Autistics, Lindsey and Riki discuss the DSM-5 diagnosis criteria for autism, exploring their personal experiences, social communication deficits, sensory sensitivities, and the importance of support systems. They also discuss misconceptions about autism, the intersection with intellectual disability, and the significance of community and advocacy for autistic individuals.
