Abstract

In the chapter dedicated to the Pervasive Developmental Disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV), which was published in 1994, various nosographic entities born in the scientific context of Mitteleuropa found recognition, even though with a delay of several decades. In 2013, the DSM-5 erased all five mentioned diagnostic subcategories of the DSM-IV, proposing a single, all-embracing category of Autism Spectrum Disorder, subdivided into 3 severity degrees. In our opinion, this subdivision does not reflect the great clinical heterogeneity of the disorder, and therefore the DSM-5 autism classification requires improvements.
