yea I met with the DHS caseworker about my son last week and we were discussing his diagnosis. He said (son's name) is _____ and I told him that means my son has (disorder) from the DSM IV right? and he said that the new DSM V was out and with the criteria in it for this disorder this state will not acknowledge or label my son as having this until he is 18. He didn't say no like he has in the past when I asked detail questions about my son. So basically my son has a disorder but because of the new criteria and state mental health standards they cant say right out he has this disorder. He is getting treament needed so not being labeled this is no big deal but now that I know, it certainly explains what is going on with my son.

I don't know if it is out for the general public or just the professionals. Also it wouldn't be the first time a DHS caseworker lied to me. so you may be right.
