[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I know Asperger's is officially Autism Spectrum Disorder, level 1, but every clinician, professional and SN schools who work with these kids still use "asperger's" since no one knows what you are talking if you say "my kid has ASD, level 1"[/quote] Agreed, and I don't like some of the changes. It is still used along with high functioning autism but technically it isn't correct. Aspergers has always been a form of autism so it makes no sense kids did not get the same level of services as ASD diagnosis. [/quote] I like the change since it made it much easier for kids with Asperger's to get services. No problem with the "stigma" of autism here. My DS only needs social and behavioral supports in his IEP but I'm happy he is getting it and that the change in the DSM made it much easier for kids like him to get the help they need.[/quote]
