TL;DR
The DSM-IV category of pervasive developmental disorder may be ideal for diagnosing "classic" autism, but it may be inadequate fordiagnosing less severe forms of the disorder.
Abstract
The DSM-IV category of pervasive developmental disorder may be ideal for diagnosing "classic" autism, but it may be inadequate for diagnosing less severe forms of the disorder.

Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersAutism Diagnostic Interview-Revised: A revised version of a diagnostic interview for caregivers of individuals with possible pervasive developmental disorders
9,096 Citations1994Catherine Lord, Michael Rutter +1 more
The revised interview has been reorganized, shortened, modified to be appropriate for children with mental ages from about 18 months into adulthood and linked to ICD-10 and DSM-IV criteria.
Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersAustism diagnostic observation schedule: A standardized observation of communicative and social behavior
2,032 Citations1989Catherine Lord, Michael Rutter +5 more
Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis of autism in the draft version of ICD-10 were operationalized in terms of abnormalities on specific ADOS items, and an algorithm based on these items was shown to have high reliability and discriminant validity.
Journal of Child Psychology and PsychiatryA Case‐Control Family History Study of Autism
1,087 Citations1994Patrick Bolton, Hope Macdonald +6 more
The findings suggest that the autism phenotype extends beyond autism as traditionally diagnosed; that aetiology involves several genes; that autism is genetically heterogeneous; and that obstetric abnormalities in autistic subjects may derive from abnormality in the foetus.
Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersAutism diagnostic interview: A standardized investigator-based instrument
1,035 Citations1989Ann Le Couteur, Michael Rutter +5 more
The development of a new standardized investigator-based interview for use in the differential diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders is described, together with a diagnostic algorithm (using ICD-10 criteria) based on its use.
American Journal of PsychiatryBroader autism phenotype: evidence from a family history study of multiple-incidence autism families
784 Citations1997Joseph Piven, Pat Palmer +3 more
Higher rates of social and communication deficits and stereotyped behaviors were found in the relatives in the families with multiple-incidence autism, suggesting that this broader autism phenotype should be included in some future genetic analyses of this disorder.
Journal of Child Psychology and PsychiatryTHE AUTISTIC CHILD'S APPRAISAL OF EXPRESSIONS OF EMOTION
630 Citations1986R. Peter Hobson
It is suggested that autistic children have difficulty in recognizing how different expressions of particular emotions are associated with each other, and that this might contribute to their failure to understand the emotional states of other people.
Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersAffective sharing in the context of joint attention interactions of normal, autistic, and mentally retarded children
512 Citations1990Connie Kasari, Marian Sigman +2 more
Compared to the normal children, the autistic children failed to display high levels of positive affect during joint attention whereas the mentally retarded children displayed high levels OFE during requesting as well as joint attention situations, lending support to the hypothesis that the joint attention deficits in autistic children also are associated with a disturbance in affective sharing.
Journal of Child Psychology and PsychiatryA Broader Phenotype of Autism: The Clinical Spectrum in Twins
451 Citations1996Ann Le Couteur, Anthony Bailey +5 more
The diagnostic boundaries of the behavioural phenotype for autism were examined in 28 MZ pairs and 20 DZ same-sex twin pairs, where one or both twins had autism.

Psychological MedicineSocial language use in parents of autistic individuals
347 Citations1992Rebecca Landa, Joseph Piven +4 more
The pragmatic features observed in some autism parents are milder but conceptually similar to the social language deficits of autism, which may be reasons for familial aggregation of pragmatic language deficits.
Psychiatric Clinics of North AmericaThe Development of a Theory of Mind in Autism: Deviance and Delay?
195 Citations1991Simon Baron‐Cohen
An experimental investigation of the relative comprehension difficulty posed in representing different mental states is reported in this chapter, revealing that certain mental states are easier to recall than others, for all subjects.
Development and PsychopathologyThe theoretical implications of joint-attention deficits in autism
193 Citations1989Peter Mundy, Marian Sigman
The metarepresentational hypothesis does not appear to provide a parsimonious explanation of autistic joint-attention deficits, and an alternative model is proposed that attempts to explain these deficits in terms of the combined negative impact of developmental disturbances in affective, as well as cognitive, processes.
Journal of Abnormal Child PsychologySocial stimulation and joint attention in young autistic children
178 Citations1992Arthur Lewy, Géraldine Dawson
For all groups, joint attention was increased when adult play behavior closely followed and was contingent on the behavior of the children; however, the autistic children were significantly less responsive to the experimental manipulation than control subjects.
Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersClassification of pervasive developmental disorders: Some concepts and practical considerations
125 Citations1992Michael Rutter, Eric Schopler
The pros and cons of autism and pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) as an overall descriptive term, of lumping or splitting, and of different choices with respect to PDD subcategories are discussed.
Journal of Child Psychology and PsychiatryCOMMUNICATION BEHAVIORS IN AUTISM AND DEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE DELAY
125 Citations1988Susan H. Landry, Katherine A. Loveland
The communicative behavior of autistic and developmental language delay children matched for nonverbal mental age and mean length of utterance (MLU) was compared to that of normally-developing (ND) 2-yr-olds.
Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders
100 Citations1988Michael Rutter, Eric Schopler
This review presents the synthesis of the accumulated research and provides the best assessment of the evidence for resolving some of these disputes about the definition of autism.
Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersSocial scripts for conversational interactions in autism and Down syndrome
99 Citations1991Katherine A. Loveland, Belgin Tunali
Although a smaller percentage of subjects in the autism group than the DS group exhibited improvement after modeling, some subjects with autism were able to improve, suggesting that they understood some aspects of the social situation but needed help formulating an appropriate response.
Journal of Child Psychology and PsychiatryLong‐Term Stability of Individual Differences in the Emotional Responsiveness of Children with Autism
48 Citations1996Cheryl Dissanayake, Marian Sigman +1 more
Autistic children discriminated between affective and non-affective contexts when this discrimination was tested at the second follow-up, and emotional responsiveness was positively associated with concurrent cognitive skills at each point of assessment.
