[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 558097, member: 1550"] My neuropsychologist warned us about this so rather than Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or Aspergers (I don't think he's an Aspie anyway), he put down Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to make sure he'd still get services. I think that even if you have "traits" but you can have friends, work productively, and are not too impaired you shouldn't get a full range of services. I agree with that. But now doctors won't be able to use that feel good "Aspergers" diagnosis for kids who really DO need interventions, like Sonic. They will have to swallow the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. or get no services. That is, unless they somehow tweak it. I know ADHD kids have trouble getting services. I hope those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) "traits" do get SOME help. The new DSM is changing a lot of diagnosis. Those who understand borderline, take a look at THAT new criteria! And mood disorders! [/QUOTE]
