[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A ton of kids are getting adhd asd dx now bc they changed the dsm so asd is basically the most vague dx ever. Adhd is a pretty black and white dx in that if you have adhd, stimulants or non stimulants will help your symptoms and if they don’t then you prob don’t have it. Asd is like - do you not have tons of friends, are you not super easy going, do you cry a lot, do you get frustrated a lot, are you immature for your age, are you depressed or anxious as a teen? If answer yes to any of above then congrats in 2023 you can get an asd dx and then your school will have to actually help you  [/quote]

This is all nonsense, fyi.[/quote]

Tell that to the guy who helped widen the asd dx

Again, this is not the standard most psychologists use. This is just one disgruntled guy in a junk media outlet.

Are you a troll? We don’t like trolls in the SN forum. This is a safe, informed, place. Not a place to spread misinformation.[/quote]

- I am not a troll
- junk media outlet aside, dr Frances is regularly featured in mainstream media outlets 
- at least every week on this forum are people expressing the same frustration, none of whom are trolls [/quote]
