The Autism Society Comments on the Proposed DSM-5 Revisions

January 20, 2012
By Autism Society, www.autism-society.org

Changing the definition of autism does not change the need for help.

As the nation’s largest grassroots autism organization, the Autism Society’s foremost concern is that individuals with autism have access to the resources and services they need. As it exists today, the autism spectrum is vast. We are concerned that individuals who could lose the autism diagnosis may not fall under another classification, and would lose access to the appropriate services. With these changes, it is equally important that those who diagnose autism spectrum disorders have the training and information needed to diagnose appropriately.
