Ok people, this is your time to bury the committee in comments about how you feel about the change in Dx rather than just venting about it on a chat group. S.Wanted to alert you to the open comment period from the DSM-5 committee, Call for CommentsProposed Draft Revisions to DSM Disorders and CriteriaComment Deadline: June 15, 2012http://www.dsm5.org/proposedrevision/Pages/Default.aspxThe comment period has opened for the proposed changes to the diagnostic and statistical manual (DSM) of the American Psychiatric Association. These revisions include the often-discussed revisions to criteria for diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders, among other things.
