I was making a reference to the way psychologists interact with and diagnose patients, not who controls the DSM. To be completely accurate, the DSM-V task force is made up of both psychiatrists and psychologists, although it comes under the umbrella of the American Psychiatric Association. I work with both psychologists and psychiatrists in my job, (I know the difference) and on average, the general attitude towards patients, especially ASD patients seems to very condescending and clueless. On a slightly related topic, a lot of psychiatrists seem to forget the basics of medicine, shouldn't be allowed to call themselves MD. They should have their own category, like Doctor of Psychiatry, not Doctor of Medicine
