The disorder is marked by, for example, all of the following persistent deficits in social communication and interaction

The "for example" makes that passage a bit ambiguous...

That's why the doctor in the Psychology Today blog was confused. The "for example" descriptor threw him off.

The for example makes the whole criteria wooly. If not a typographical error it implies you can be diagnosed with a completely different set of criteria - since all they have provided is examples.

Yeah. If not for this, the criteria is spot-on, in my opinion.

Severity is coded separately for the social communication impairments and for the restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior.

So this means that I can finally have validation when I say that I am "low-functioning" when it comes to my sensory issues (which are strangely grouped in w/ the repetitive movements, how odd) and "high-functioning" in my social skills?

@OP, I think we have the same shoes. Are those Nike?

Maybe they mean that if the person doesn't have the examples they provide of, for example, nonverbal communication impairment, but has other clear examples of nonverbal communication impairment, those would count under this criteria. For example, laughing when scared doesn't exactly count as any of their examples, but it's still an abnormality of nonverbal communication. I've been reading up on attachment theory lately, and the guidelines for disorganized attachment have a rule like this. They list a bunch of examples of disorganized attachment behavior, but if a kid shows a behavior that clearly falls under one of those headings but is not listed, it can count too.

If so, it does add a bit of fuzziness, but it also should allay many people's concerns of not meeting the new criteria.
