[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500511, member: 12886"] I am not saying I think there should be no aspergers, but why I have not been very concerned because this is how we have done it in the schools the whole time. So I guess I view it similarly....it is not that they are eliminating the symptoms of Aspergers, they are broadening symptoms to include the higher functioning levels and then ranging to the lower functioning rather than the more has it or doesn't view. Not perfect, but it wasn't the other way either...some kids didn't fit in there at all. I worry more about Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified kids. I have to read more carefully to see if they have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-not otherwise specified??? [FONT=arial]Here is what the web site for dsm has listed: [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
