I've been hearing a lot about the DSM change coming around next year, and the thought of it is literally killing me from stress. I had a meltdown last night because I heard that they were lumping us all under ASD and leaving it at that. (If I may add, I was whimpering because I couldn't find the words to say what I needed to, along with scratching at various objects such as a cardboard box) Does anyone else feel this way? Maybe I'm just not ready for a change like that. It seems as though some part of my identity will be lost. And all the different names are all the different conditions, and now they're all going to be one...
Someone stop me from freaking out. Please.
Aspergers is already considered autism, it was already one condition to begin with so it won't be too big of a change really its more a change to the wording of the DSM so it doesn't really have to effect your identity....don't know if that helps any though.
