Mild, Morbid, or what? (aspergers topic discussion)

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks for the clarification. To me there seems like pros and cons. Those who have support needs with Aspergers will probably benefit the most so I would have to go with the consolidation, in my opinion. If they were to keep Aspergers as a separate disorder, in the DSM from Autism Spectrum Disorder, I don't see a need to change the current criteria for Aspergers. At this point, I think the least likely of scenarios will be that the disorders will be separated in the future.

Yet right now the push is to make some freakish amalgalm of the whole thing by calling it autism spectrum disorders, which given the evidence is completely absurd, an overgeneralization.

Check out the DSMV website if you get a chance they have their reasons, some of which I don't agree with. All the rationales are well detailed on the site.
