When an expert on autism argued that a new definition of the disorder being prepared by the American Psychiatric Association could restrict the number of patients currently diagnosed as autistic, he set off a firestorm of criticism and debate.
Earlier Thursday, at a medical conference in Iceland, Fred Volkmar, a renowned autism expert and the director of the Yale Child Study Center, had presented a few glimpses of his newest piece of research. Not yet published, his study purports to show that a new set of diagnostic criteria for autism, currently being developed by an expert panel appointed by the American Psychiatric Association, could result in a highly restrictive definition of the disorder, excluding a major portion of those who are currently considered autistic.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- WHAT THIS MEANS IS, 75% OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM MAY HAVE BEEN MISDIAGNOSED.
The science is nothing more than a guess... I call it a guessagnosis and after all these years I've been closer to the truth.
There are 75% of the kids have been misdiagnosed. Stunning, shocking and should shake up the entire shrink industry! It's a Pscience ... Not a science.
