[quote=Anonymous]The DSM really is an antiquated way of diagnosing (very open to interpretation with poor interrator reliability) but finding new evidence based ways are really complicated. The book Saving Normal is a really interesting read about the DSM byDr Allen Frances who led the team who wrote the 4th edition and was asked to work on the 5th edition but declined. Broadening the diagnostic scope of autism and adhd has haunted him ever since as he feels it was instrumental in pathologizing non-pathological behaviour and traits. [/quote]
