Re: Aspergers and the DSM-V

[Guest guest]

> This has been talked about for the past three years, but current updates the

(possible? likely?) elimination of Aspergers Syndrome from the DSM-V are few and

far between. Some " official " sites I researched point to the elimination of

Aspergers Syndrome in the DSM-V, along with " childhood disintegrative disorders "

and others to be replaced with refined categories of autism spectrum disorders.

Here is the info on the official DSM-5 website:

http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevision/Pages/proposedrevision.aspx?rid=94#

The current plan is to replace " Asperger's Disorder " with (more or less) Autism

Spectrum

Disorder, Level 3.
