Due to this topic WHAT IS ASPERGERS?
It could be interesting to find out which criteria the diagnosis is based on among us on WP who have a formal diagnosis

which one is most spread and most used...and does it differ within the same country?

So here is mine:
DSM IV, United Kingdom

I believe the DSM was used for me.

I'm DSM IV as well, but have gone through the other two with my therapist, and I actually would test out the same on all three. But that's not really the criteria that inspired my diagnosis, just the criteria that confirmed it. The criteria that inspired my diagnosis was the physical, rather than the social, symptoms (overstimulus leading to migraines, a small amount of disgraphia, odd itches and numbness in extremities, head, and trunk leading to stimming behaviors).

DSM. At first when i suggested AS to my psychologist, she thoiught about it for a few seconds and then said that it hadn't occurred to her before(the issues i was most focused on at the time were related to gender-dysphoria.. so the social stuff wasn't so focused on) but that it definitely fits me. At another session she printed out a copy of the DSM criteria for me to look at and said that it definitely fits me, since you don't have to fit *everything*(no day-to-day routines). And that pretty much led to the testing and such that led to diagnosis. I also match the ICD criteria, 'cause its pretty similar. The Gillberg criteria i'm not sure about, and it always kind of puzzled me... Doesn't the Gillberg criteria contradict pretty much all the other AS criteria? For example, having speech delay as a possible symptom, while all the other criteria prohibit significant speech delays?

Gillberg's (Attwood's place),

They kinda fudged criterion #6 in my case, as I don't have poor motor ability and delayed development of the same. Since I had the rest, that seemed to be enough for them.

I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's using both the DSM-IV and the Gillberg (I checked the box for the DSM as I was not able to check two boxes). After meeting the criteria for Asperger's under the DSM-IV, I was evaluated/analyzed under the Gillberg too---and I met enough under it for Asperger's too.

Diagnosed in 1996 via DSM-IV.

I am mild AS, and may be classified as NT when the DSM-V is introduced.

DSM-IV as far as I am aware, in the US.
