Course Description:
Autism may be among the most complex, diverse, and challenging of all mental conditions. This comprehensive 6-hour INR Webinar will present the current science on the diagnosis, course, and effective treatments of autism in order to help understand this often-bewildering brain disorder. The presentation will begin with an understanding the history of autism and why autism is currently thought by many to be a neurodivergent spectrum condition and not to be a mental disorder. The development of the current DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder will be described and methods of early and later diagnosis will be presented. This will include an analysis of reasons for the recent increase in autism diagnoses and a discussion of some of the beliefs about the causes of autism that appear to have no scientific support.
