As noted elsewhere here by others, the clinical definition of Autism has radically changed recently, with Asperger's being folded in. This was done- in a vain attempt to increase funding for children with Asperger's, IMHO.
- TheOperator 7y agoThe entire DSM-V definition of autism was transparently guided by political concerns such as making sure nobody no longer qualified as disabled. Which fundamentally makes it an expansion of the prior definition. It's absolutely mind boggling how the bible of psychiatry can be so dominated by politics and have very little actual connection to replicable science or empirical data.
