[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 558197, member: 1550"] This is the new definition in the latest DSM which will come out in 2013. It leaves out high functioning autism, which may leave out some services. I posted it in the Watercooler, but maybe some of you don't go there. This is the time to write to them about it if you disagree with the criteria. Sonic's neuropsychologist new this was going to happen so he diagnosed Sonic with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) because he needs adult services. Before this he had diagnoses of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and high functiong autism. They no longer will exist in the DSM.
