[quote=Anonymous]The reason for changing the dsm is not bc it’s annoying for parents of kids who are more profoundly impacted (even though that is a very valid and important conversation). The reason to change the dsm is that the spectrum narrative is not helpful if the commonalities between individuals are vastly outweighed by the differences. The purpose of diagnoses are to support research and create communities of people impacted in certain ways so that therapies and medications may be targeted to their issue. The increasing wideness of the spectrum makes this job much harder [/quote]
