the claim

Intense, highly focused interests are a diagnostic criterion for autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Intense, highly focused interests are a diagnostic criterion for autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5?

Unclear. Two peer-reviewed items treat restricted interests as a core autistic feature and confirm DSM-5 has Criteria A and B, but neither states that intense focused interests are themselves a DSM-5 diagnostic criterion. No retrieved source directly addresses the criterion status the claim asserts.
