Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed in children, young people and adults if these behaviours meet the criteria defined in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV Fourth Edition (Text Revision) (DSM IV-TR) and have a significant impact on function. The over-arching category term used in ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR is pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), a term now used synonymously with autism spectrum disorder (excluding Rett syndrome): it is a behaviourally defined group of disorders, which is heterogeneous in both cause and manifestation. The guideline development group recognised that individuals and groups prefer a variety of terms, including autism spectrum disorder, autistic spectrum condition, autistic spectrum difference and neuro-diversity.
