New changes


At the last meeting it was agreed to change the format of out group, it has become increasingly difficult for people to attend monthly meetings and we have had a lot of calls from people who are interested in support but can't attend. Therefore we have changed to a Support Network. The main of this will be run from a new Facebook page here : Kilkenny-ASD-Families-Network

Proposed changed to the DSM form IV to V

Just an interesting link I found with regards to the changs being made in may next year to the DSM.

Some of you know already about the proposal to do away with the Diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, changing it instead to ASD - Autistic Spectrum Disorder and it seems there may also be classes with 3 levels of severity.

Below is a link to the DSM V Website, showing the proposed revision and the old DSM IV Criteria.

See what you think ....
