So the new diagnosis is more about filtering than merging diagnoses.


quick question to everyone as a follow up to this. Use to have PDD-NOS under the DSM-4. I saw something like this on google where people under PDD would have an 85% chance to not be considered to be autistic under the DSM-V. I actually talked to my doctor about this (psychologist) and I told him about this and he said on this sheet that my PDD-NOS/austism was not listed under disabilities, just a depression disorder from high school.

Question is am I still considered to be under the spectrum since I was diagnosed before the DSM-V came out or does this affect people that were born before it.


Under the regulations yes you you be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder your label simply changed. It even said people with an aspergers, autism or pdd is diagnosis under the dsm iV should automatically recieve an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis under the dsm 5 withing the criteria
