Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DSM-IV-TR requires a pattern of behavior and additional context to make a diagnosis. A single instance of a child kicking and screaming in a grocery store is not sufficient to diagnose a disorder. Age, frequency, and severity of behaviors, as well as other contextual factors, are necessary to consider before making a diagnosis.
