Overview

This review highlights challenges in neuropsychological assessment for autism spectrum disorder, indicating a need for methodological changes.

Key Points

  • Neuropsychological assessment faces significant methodological challenges in autism spectrum disorder, leading to inaccurate diagnoses.
  • The review emphasizes the limitations of standardized psychometric instruments in Brazil, particularly for non-verbal individuals.
  • A paradigm shift towards a 'neuropsychologist-investigator' approach is proposed to improve diagnostic accuracy.
  • Observational and procedural assessment methods may prevent diagnostic iatrogenesis in non-verbal populations.
