The purpose of this workshop is to prepare health professionals to recognise and appropriately
refer, assess or treat autism spectrum conditions (ASC). Subtypes of ASC are described and
defined according to DSM-IV-TR and DSM-V. A critical review of the available screening devices
and diagnostic tools is presented, with recommendations as to the strongest tools to use.
Participants will learn about the prevalence of ASC, and its aetiology. Guidance will be given as
how to structure and conduct a diagnostic assessment with particular consideration given to
autistic disorder, Asperger’s syndrome, early screening and diagnosis, and school-aged children.
A video-taped demonstration by Professor Tony Attwood will illustrate a diagnostic interview with
a primary-aged child. Differential diagnoses and co-morbid conditions will be presented and
explained. Treatment will focus on early intervention models for autism, family therapy, cognitive
behaviour therapy and Social Stories.
