Proposed Changes in DSM-5
One of the proposed changes in DSM-5 that is set to be released in May 2013 is to eliminate Asperger syndrome as a separate diagnosis, and fold it under autism spectrum disorders. Under the proposed changes, ASD will be rated on a scale ranging from severe, through moderate, to mild, based on clinical presentation.

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:
“We have no one to blame for the Kennedys but ourselves. We took the Kennedys to heart of our own accord. And it is my opinion that we did it not because we respected them or thought what they proposed was good, but because they were pretty. We, the electorate, were smitten by this handsome, vivacious family.... We wanted to hug their golden tousled heads to our dumpy breasts.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
