[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 481352, member: 1169"] It may be different in South Africa but Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) isn't a 'real' diagnosis in North America yet. Currently under DSM-IV, Autism is the diagnosis regardless of low/high functioning. "Austism Spectrum Disorder" will not be an official diagnosis until the DSM-V takes effect in May 2013. It may seem like a minor point, but I think it is important that parents accept when their child has Autism and not try and minimize it by saying it is 'just' a lesser diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
