[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]If somebody is shopping around for a formal diagnosis that does not exist in the DSM-V, why is it offensive and inappropriate to point that?

You are making assumptions that I am not sure you are in a position to make. In any case, such posts have disrupted many threads without yielding any observable benefit. Please refrain from posting them.

Whether or not something exists (or does not exist) as a diagnosis in the DSM-5 is not an assumption.  It’s a fact.

I’m a long-time consumer of this board as a source of information.  If you censor factual information I’m not sure that does a great service.

But it’s your board and you set the rules.[/quote]
There is a particular poster on this board who assumes that every who disagrees with him is avoiding an autism diagnosis.  If you agree that your child has autism, he assumes you don't realize how serious your child's condition is.

Good post: X isn't in the DSM, but it could be autism, so please consider having your child tested.

Bad Post:  Your kid can't have Y because he really has autism.[/quote]
