CKA Forums :: Asperger’s dropped from revised diagnosis manual

The now familiar term “Asperger’s disorder” is being dropped. And abnormally bad and frequent temper tantrums will be given a scientific-sounding diagnosis called DMDD. But “dyslexia” and other learning disorders remain.

Full details of all the revisions will come next May when the American Psychiatric Association’s new diagnostic manual is published, but the impact will be huge, affecting millions of children and adults worldwide. The manual also is important for the insurance industry in deciding what treatment to pay for, and it helps schools decide how to allot special education.

Interesting that such a wide variety of symptoms will be lumped under the Austim spectrum disorder , from kids who are almost catatonic to those who are verging on genius.

I have found that people with autism are as different from others with autism the same as ordinary peeps are different from other ordinary peeps. Those label makers have a tuff job.
