Terminology Associated with Autism

Summary

The bill revises the state statute’s definition of “autism” and “autism spectrum disorder” to the wording used in the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. It would affect any Florida law, program, or agency that relies on that definition, but the measure did not pass and died in committee.
