[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 558232, member: 1550"] I think a lot of people wonder if basically social (even if not extremely socially adept), academically and professionally successful people are actually in need of services, but I'm not sure. I was fine with Sonic getting the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). That opened the door for the services he gets today. I really don't care what they call it, but I'm wondering if others do care. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified isn't in the DSM anymore either, which is what Sonic was diagnosed with the first time. There are very specific guidelines for autism in the new DSM. It's not so "iffy." Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I guess those on the fringes will now be diagnosed with communication disorder or ADHD... [/QUOTE]
