[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 558727, member: 14557"] We don't use DSM and my difficult child doesn't qualify into the old or new in DSM and neither with ICD. But I have to disagree with you. It is very, very short-sighted to take away services (and if I have understood correctly you tend to need diagnosis to get services, not like in our system, there need for services and Dxs are considered mostly independently) from marginal kids. Without those services many of them don't turn out to be adults who are able to work, have friends etc. More likely they will turn out to be labelled with other diagnoses (like severe social anxiety disorder) that will make them disabled adults. And that is awful waste of money and human resources, not mentioning the unnecessary suffering for those individuals and their families. [/QUOTE]
