It's your last chance to provide input on DSM Autism changes!

Thanks for the tip. I immediately went over there, registered, and added my two cents to what should and shouldn't be included for the new DSM-V.

our input will mean little... they want the input of professionals, not those afflicted

Thanks for the announcement! I already registered a few weeks back, so when I have time in the near future, I will compose my lengthy rant about multiple changes (eliminating AS is just the surface of my complaints). I've already made a list of all the proposed changes I find to be utter nonsense. I just have to write it up formally.
