[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500478, member: 12886"] We were talking about the DSM change of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) more like the school does it on a thread maybe a couple of months ago??? I think we added links to the dsm web pages there too if anyone wants to search. For years the schools have done it that way and kids with Aspergers are included in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the schools so I do wonder if it will be more of the same, some people will interpret restricted patterns of behavior one way and others another way... etc. I have looked at it and I can see most of the Aspies I know still being included. That said, I am not sure it is a good idea to not use the Asperger's diagnosis. I think it does describe a lot of people much more clearly. But there are those boarder line folks... people say are they high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Aspies and some use the delayed lang at an early age, others say but they are so high functioning except for that early lang delay so they say Asperger's anyway and on and on..... there is not a really good answer. If it is like i is around here though, if an autism specialist who is any good is doing the assessment in the school is involved, they get the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) school label. I hope that happens in the medical community too. Funny thing, MR Special Education admin's wife works at a local family/child development center that Q went to when young. They havce an intensive treatment program daily half days for K and under and Q went there two years. His wife is a psychologist there and she was interviewed in our news today. I really believe this is why he does get it some of the time. He understands more than the others do and has even reduced principal punishments for us. Made them at least doable at times. [/QUOTE]
