[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They changed the diagnostic codes and eliminated Asperger's and PDD-Nos. Now everything is coded as ASD, but with degrees of severity. [/quote] OP here, I know that, was just wondering what the reasoning was. It seems counterintuitive to me to go from more specified diagnoses to more generalized so I just didn't know why they went that direction. [/quote] The previous categories were not being used consistently by treaters. If the treating healthcare professionals can't use the labels consistently and disagree over who goes where, the distinctions are useful for professionals or meaningful for patients. [/quote]
