BACKGROUND: The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of @entity146 ( @entity4987 ) was published in May 2013. @entity72 ( @entity72 ) has been structured for the three subtypes of @entity245 ( @entity245 ), but the number of impairment in social and communication dimension is not stated. METHODS: The subjects were 68 @entity1 who visited the Department of Psychology and Development at Nagoya City University Hospital for the first time between the ages of 6 and 15 years old. We retrospectively re-examined the subjects using DSM-IV-TR criteria and @entity4987 criteria with two rules (two of three and one of three on the social and communication dimension) and examined the concordance rate. RESULTS: Forty subjects were diagnosed with @entity245 , and 28 were not. The mean @entity245 subject age was 9.4   years, and mean IQ was 84.0 on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for @entity1 III or 62.7 on the Tanaka-Binet test. Twenty-seven (68%) of the @entity245 subjects were classified with @entity72 using @entity4987 criteria when the two of three rule was applied, while 32 (80%) were classified with @entity72 when the one of three rule was applied. All subjects without @entity245 were not diagnosed with @entity72 on @entity4987 criteria. CONCLUSION: @entity4987 criteria may exclude high functioning and older subjects from @entity72 because they tend to be atypical. The diagnostic procedure for @entity4987 criteria is ambiguous, especially in high functioning subjects and those diagnosed at an older age.
