Thread Name: BS: A Change of View
Subject: RE: BS: A Change of View
The "bible" of the mental health industry is being revised/updated. Asberger's Syndrome is no longer being listed separately from Autism. Instead it is being viewed as the higher end of the Autism Spectrum. Apparently it is creating a stir among "Aspies" who object to being lumped in with Autistic people. Interesting controversy. Some professionals are suggesting that this refusal to accept change is typical of autistics.
