" DSM-V, Definitions and Persistent Realities "

 

 Dr. Ami Klin is the Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar Professor and Chief of the Division of Autism and Developmental Disabilities at Emory University School of Medicine, and the Director of the Marcus Autism Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Dr. Klin is the author of over 180 publications in the field of autism and related conditions. His primary research focuses on the social mind and brain, and aspects of autism from infancy through adulthood. In his most noted work, Dr. Klin used eye-tracking technology to measure social engagement, allowing him to monitor infants at risk for an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  His current research goals include identifying individuals with ASD as early as possible so that potential therapies can have their maximal effect.

 

In this lecture, Dr. Klin will discuss the imminent changes in the definition of ASD in the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V) and its impact on individuals with ASD, particularly for those with Asperger syndrome. He will also discuss how this change may influence advocacy and clinical communities. Dr. Klin will talk about how developing the new definition of ASD can generate great opportunities for research that will directly benefit individuals and families. While diagnostic categories have major practical implications, the approach to all-encompassing labels may move the field towards a better understanding of mechanisms of learning. This change in the diagnostic manual may help individuals with ASD to obtain more individualized treatment which in turn may will help them fulfill their potential for independent living, meaningful employment, and significant relationships. Dr. Klin will explain some of the complexities of the new classification efforts and changes, and the practical challenges that will persist regardless of definition changes.

 

This lecture is intended for families of individuals on the autism spectrum and professionals supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. We also invite anyone who is interested in learning more about ASD.

 

Upon completion of this lecture, participants will be able to:

Discuss the future changes in the DSM-V for ASD.Explain the impact of this change on the science community.

Describe the benefits and challenges that individuals with ASD will face as a result of the new DSM-V definition of ASD. 

 Please RSVP to hold your seat!
