DSM5 review (Joke review)

Post Reply New Topic

Dear All,

I laughed when I read this, it is a review of the DSM5 which is written by a person who has the mistaken idea that it is a dystopic novel

It is mostly SFW, but the bit about the motivation of people who do things to kitchen floors might be a little NSFW (toliet humor)

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

I couldn't laugh because it was too close to the truth... I never found this book or it's predecessors of much use in actually helping anyone.

I cant wait until they come out with the Broadway musical!

Now ...I cant make up my mind what to name my newly formed prog rock band.

Either ....

"the Day One Dictators".

or

"the DSM-5"

Either way our first album will be entitled "dictionary of madness".
