Comparison of DSM-III-R and Childhood Autism Rating Scale Diagnoses of Autism.

Van Bourgondien, Mary E.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v22 n4 p493-506 Dec 1992

This study compared DSM-III-R (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual III, Revised), Childhood Autism Rating Scale, and clinical diagnoses of 138 admissions to a program for diagnosis and treatment of autistic and related communication-handicapped individuals. Results indicated generally high agreement on the diagnosis of autism, with DSM-III-R slightly underdiagnosing autism. (Author/JDD)
