    This document provides a diagnostic protocol for cognitive and intellectual disabilities, with a focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It defines ASD and related diagnoses, including autistic disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder. Three levels of ASD severity are outlined based on deficits in social communication and restrictive/repetitive behaviors. Common symptoms for recreational therapy are identified, such as deficits in social interaction, repetitive motor movements, sensory reactions, and cognitive issues. Related conditions like attention deficits, epilepsy, and anxiety are also noted. Resources on ASD diagnoses and treatment are listed.

    Diagnostic Protocol
    Diagnostic Grouping
    Cognitive and Intellectual Disabilities: A group of symptoms in functioning that originates during
    the period of development (conception to age 18) that is characterized by intellectual deficits or
    anomalies existing concurrently with impairment in adaptive behavior patterns where a person
    ineffectively processes social requirements and personal expectations.
    Etiology:
    Genetics
    Neurological structure and development
    Environmental factors including Poverty and Neglect
    Age of both parents at conception
    Prenatal drug use
    Complications during birth
    Disease
    Specific Diagnosis
    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): This is defined as part of the DSM-V as a neurodevelopmental
    cognitive disorder that is diagnosed on behavioral and developmental characteristics rather than
    medical, anatomic, or specific genetic markers. ASD is a collection of social, communication, and
    behavioral impairments with a wide spectrum of functionality, the highest individuals scoring far
    above average on intelligence testing and the lowest scoring far below average.
    Autistic Disorder:
    Problems with social interactions, communication, and imaginative play in children
    younger than 3 years.
    Aspergers Syndrome:
    Lack of speech deficits, no problems with language. Tend to score in the average or
    above-average range on intelligence tests. Same social problems and limited scope of
    interests as children with autistic disorder.
    Childhood Disintegrative Disorder:
    Normal development for at least two years and then experience loss of some or most
    of their communication and social skills. Extremely rare disorder
    Pervasive Development Disorder not otherwise Specified:
    Atypical Autistic behaviors that don't fit into other categories.
    Severity:
    Level 1, Requires Support:
    Deficits in social communication cause noticeable
    impairments in initiating and maintaining social
    interactions. The inflexible behaviors interfere with
    functioning in one or more situations.
    Level 2, Requires Substantial Support:
    The marked deficit in social communication skills are
    apparent even when the support systems are in place.
    The restricted, repetitive behaviors are significant
    enough that they are obvious to a casual observer and
    cause distress when change is required
    Level 3, Requires very substantial support:
    Severe deficits in social communication result in very
    limited initiation of interactions and minimal response to
    others. The restricted, repetitive behaviors are extremely
