What criteria were used to diagnose you?

Post Reply New Topic

Did the professional(s) use the DSM-III or DSM-IV(-TR), ICD-9 or ICD-10, Gillberg's criteria or another set of criteria?

About the last option:
Most people were officially diagnosed by the use of 1 set of criteria, but some may have been diagnosed with classical autism or PDD-NOS before AS existed yet and may have gotten their official diagnosis changed to AS after 1992/1994. Some might have received multiple diagnosis too.


I myself was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome by use of the ICD-10.

Have no idea......

My diagnosis was done with some ancient set of rules... officially I am PDD-NOS diagnosed.
Never bothered to change it, since it gets the same government recognition.

I tried to get those old reports, but most of them were destroyed already. But when I compare the few sheets I have, to modern criteria, they are almost certain Aspergers.

DSM-III, DSM-IV-TR; both Autistic Disorder (well, it's Infantile-onset Autism for the DSM-III), and both retroactively and current

Gillberg's at Attwood's (that's what they use there); current

The last one is a bit of a wish-wash, as I don't have delayed motor development, but whatever.

DSM-IV, and I only know this because I saw it while glancing briefly at the front page of my records.

I know the DSM-IV was used. And another was used, and I am fairly certain it was Gillberg's.

I met the criteria for AS on both of them.

I don't know which was used.

I was diagnosed in 1997 so I assume my psychiatrist used the latest criteria that was made.

I assume the DSM-III was used when I got diagnosed with autism in the late 1980's.

i was diagnosed ages ago and i don't remember it at all
