Abstract

Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) include ICD-10 diagnoses of childhood autism, Asperger syndrome, and atypical autism; there is a lifetime prevalence of similar to 1 %.The aim of the evidence-based clinical guideline (AWMF-S3-Guideline) is to summarize the current evidence concerning diagnostic and therapeutic processes for professionals working in healthcare and social welfare and to provide consensus on clinical recommendations. The present study summarizes the most important results of the diagnostic part of this guideline. Method: The guideline group comprised 14 clinical and scientific expert associations from the German healthcare system, in addition to representatives of relatives and patients. Recommendations were based on results of a systematic literature search, data extraction, the evaluation of study quality, and, if possible, meta-analytic aggregation of included data in combination with the clinical expertise of the respective representatives. Consensus-based recommendations were determined via nominal group technique. Results: The AWMF-S3-Clinical Guideline, Diagnostic Part, summarizes current research on this topic.The main focus is put on the question of obligatory versus redundant diagnostic procedures. After a general introduction to the clinical picture of ASD, essential aspects like obtaining the medical history, the effective use of screening and diagnostic instruments, medical examination, the full diagnostic work-up as well as communicating the diagnostic results to relatives and patients are described in detail. We also conducted a meta-analysis on the stability of early diagnosis. Conclusion: This first part of the ASD guideline offers users the opportunity to inform themselves about the background of ASD as well as evidence-based and broadly consented information on the correct diagnostic process of ASD from infancy to adulthood.
