Quote:

An expert panel from the American Psychological Association is mulling the revisions for its fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, known in the medical community as the DSM-V. The DSM is basically the medical community's bible for diagnosing mental health disorders. Just what are the proposed changes? Currently, a person would qualify for a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder by exhibiting 6 of the 12 behaviors on the criteria list, which include failure to develop peer relationships, inflexible adherence to a routine, or delays in communication or imaginative play. Under the proposed changes, a person would need to fit a much narrower description - showing three deficits in social interaction, and at least two repetitive behaviors. Currently, about 1 in 110 children have an autism spectrum disorder, according to the CDC, and up to 1.5 million children and adults overall are diagnosed with one. Some may be diagnosed with more severe forms of autism, while others have Asperger's syndrome or "pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified." The proposed changes would wipe the latter two disorders from the manual's pages, lumping them all under autism spectrum disorder.
