In a 3-page paper, explain your understanding of the current diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder by applying this knowledge to your written observations of
videos of 6 different individuals,
Please
review all six videos. Then, write a total of 3 pages (double spaced,
12-point font, 1 inch margins) describing what you watched and heard and relate
the information to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorder, 5th Edition) diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum
Disorder. You should be able to find a significant amount of
information on the internet and/or articles that discuss the DSM-5 diagnostic
criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder. As this is such a short paper
with much to cover, please do not list all of the DSM-5 criteria as a part of
this paper. Instead, make reference to the DSM-5 criteria in the content
and with the use of citations.
You will need to submit your assignment to me electronically as a.doc or.docx file.
Please do not send your assignment to my e-mail account. I will not read it or
grade it. It will only be read and graded when submitted through
the Canvas system. This paper will be graded using the rubric in Appendix D of your
syllabus. It is important that you review the rubric prior to watching the
videos and writing your paper.
Your paper will be checked using TurnItIn SimCheck. TurnItIn
SimCheck checks your work against other student papers from current and prior
courses to determine similarities.
