Topic: DSM-5 sans Asperger's and pedophilia

Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #24,511

According to an APA press release, the DSM-5 will drop the familiar diagnosis of "Asperger's" and include the symptoms under "autism spectrum disorder" instead. The criteria for pedophilia will remain the same, but the new manual will refer to it as "pedophilic disorder" now. Hoarding, binge eating, and skin-picking disorders are also to be introduced.

How does Minichan feel about this?

They have been proposing this change since like 2008.

It's apparently official now.
