Abstract

In connection with the release of the international classification of diseases (ICD – 11) in 2022 on mental health and the diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder is finding more and more discussion on the part of an interdisciplinary team of specialists. Significant differences in the treatment, therapy, and prognosis of a wide spectrum of autistic disorder, including the motor activity of endogenous - procedural genesis, Kanner’s and Asperger’s syndromes, autistically similar disorders of organic and chromosomal origin, requires the solution of rather complex issues of a differential diagnostic nature. This primarily is due to the versatility of the criteria for the diagnosis of autistic disorder and behavioral symptoms - they complicate the differential diagnosis both within the group of autism spectrum disorders and with other developmental disorders and comorbid mental illnesses. Certain difficulties in the completeness of the coverage of diagnostic signs are created by the distorted autistic dysontogenesis itself, which combines the phenomena of underdevelopment and acceleration of the same mental functions. Examples of such "comorbidity" are the coexistence of painful hyperesthesia with an urge to self-stimulation, a combination of complex games - fantasies with the primitiveness of non-play objects, early mastery of little-used words, and the richness of spontaneous verbalization with the poverty of everyday speech and a delay in the operation of personal places with hypnosis. For these reasons, it is difficult to diagnose, assess the dynamics of individual symptoms necessary for the construction of a successful psycho-pedagogical correction. Despite the more than seventy-year history of studying autistic disorder in children, many issues - etiopathogenetic mechanisms, psychopathological structure, isolation of primary and secondary disorders, nosological interpretation - remain insufficiently defined.
