6A02.1 category

Autism spectrum disorder with disorder of intellectual development and with mild or no impairment of functional language

Definition

All definitional requirements for both autism spectrum disorder and disorder of intellectual development are met but there is only mild or no impairment in the individual's capacity to use functional language for instrumental purposes (e.g., to express personal needs and desires). The co-occurring Disorder of intellectual development should be classified separately, using the appropriate category to designate severity (i.e., mild, moderate, severe, profound, provisional). Because autism spectrum disorder inherently involves social deficits, assessment of a co-occurring Disorder of intellectual development should place greater emphasis on intellectual, conceptual, and practical domains than on social adaptation.
