New Definition of Autism Expected in DSM-V 
The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), due out in May 2012, is likely to include a more strict definition of autism which is expected to reduce the number of individuals with this diagnosis.  The proposal would eliminate Asperger’s syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) and merge these under the single diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders.  For more information on the proposed changes and their implications, click here: http://na05.mypinpointe.com/link.php?M=1462524&N=5546&L=3395&F=H Taken from Boothby Therapy services
