Discrete Disorder

Select aDSM disorder (in case utilize 299.00 Autism Spectrum Disorder) and, for the sake of argument, formulate a way to understand that disorder that assumes it is not continuous, but discrete.

• Base your entire discussion on this specific disorder.
• Address issues impacting the full life span.
• Address and counter some of the ideas using research and DSM-5-TR be sure to quote citations.

(You need not believe the argument you make; sometimes you can best understand a perspective by playing devil's advocate with it. Choose carefully as some disorders are clearly far more continuous or far more discrete than others).
