Autism

Patient presents with persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as evidenced by [checkbox name="social_deficits" value="deficits in social-emotional reciprocity|deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction|deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships"].

[select name="pronoun_1" value="He|She"] also demonstrates restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, as manifested by at least two of the following: [checkbox name="restricted_behaviors" value="stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech|insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior|highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus|hyper- or hypo-reactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment"].

These symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning. Symptoms are present in the early developmental period but may not become fully manifest until social demands exceed limited capacities or may be masked by learned strategies later in life.

[select name="pronoun_2" value="He|She"] does not demonstrate intellectual disability or global developmental delay, although there may be accompanying intellectual impairment or language impairment. The disturbances are not better explained by intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) or global developmental delay.
