    Author: Spitzer RL, Siegel B.
    Journal: J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry; 1990 Nov; 29(6):855-62. PubMed ID: 2273011.
    Abstract:
    This article describes the method and results of a national field trial of the proposed criteria for the DSM-III-R diagnosis of autistic disorder at 11 sites which have experience in diagnosing pervasive developmental disorders. Using the diagnosis of autistic disorder made by expert clinicians as a standard, the diagnostic criteria that were finally included in DSM-III-R demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity across different age groups and in children with and without language.
