- Title
Social (pragmatic) communication disorder: Has it proven to be a useful diagnostic category?
- Abstract
At the last revision of the DSM‐5, social (pragmatic) communication disorder was included as a new psychiatric disorder under the broader category of communication disorders (APA, 2013). Symptoms are designated as deficits in social aspects of communication, examples of which are greeting and sharing information, changing communication to meet the needs of the listener, using verbal and nonverbal abilities when interacting with others, and understanding implicit language. Symptoms must cause functional impairment and have their origins in the developmental period. The specification of this disorder was meant to differentiate it from typical specific language impairments such as phonological processing deficits and/or fluency disorders.
