Was so busy with the DSM doing away with Asperger's that I didn't keep an eye on ICD (that they use here even though DSM is also consulted).

SRD? Is that my new label? Who the heck will know what that is?

OK, now they are just starting because they will finish in 2015 but still.

I'm not up on the latest terms, except to know some changes have been made for the new DSM. Maybe some one else will speak up about it before too long.

I was more under the impression instead of having Aspergers as a diagnoses, those with it would likely simply fit under autism spectrum disorder. I think the social reciprocity disorder is an additional diagnoses they are adding or thinking about adding or something of that nature.

I don't know though.

DSM is making both classic autism and Asperger's called "autism".

ICD will (probably) keep Asperger's but call it SRD.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
