[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those diagnoses were removed because they were not shown to be scientifically valid.[/quote] OP here. I sort of raised the question partly because I wonder what it's like for older teens or adults who have had the label Aspberger's for most of their life only to suddenly be told "yeah that's not a thing." Or if you're a parent of a child who received one of these labels, got your mind around it, steered your ship that direction, and suddenly it just doesn't exist! It just must be a bit unsettling, I would think. "I was this, now I'm not."[/quote] The Asperger's label is still commonly used by professionals and clients, even though it is no longer in DSM-V. So it's not like it no longer exists. The main purpose of the DSM is it to provide categories and codes for insurance purposes.[/quote]
