no matter what is decided in those rarified echelons beyond reality, this aspergler [sounds better than it looks ] will continue to refer to himself as having Asperger's syndrome, in honor of the man.

Quote:

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a global standard for information about mortality and morbidity. Over 100 countries use it to report mortality data; more than half the countries in the world. WHO has now set 2017 as the year to release ICD version 11; a three-year development phase. . .

So, it sounds like it's health across the board, and not just neurological differences and disabilities.

Did you see the new subcategories of autism spectrum disorder they propose?

5A11.1 Autism spectrum disorder without disorder of intellectual development or impairment in functional language

5A11.2 Autism spectrum disorder with disorder of intellectual development

5A11.3 Autism spectrum disorder with limitation in communication

5A11.4 Autism spectrum disorder with both disorder of intellectual development and structural language impairment

5A11.Y Other specified autism spectrum disorder

5A11.Z Autism spectrum disorder, unspecified

Have they quantified the diagnostic criteria for each category? Looks like most Aspergians or Asperglers (that's a cute one Auntie) might fit into either the first or last listed grouping...

5A11.1 Autism spectrum disorder without disorder of intellectual development or impairment in functional language

"This diagnostic qualifier is assigned when definitional requirements for Autism spectrum disorder are met, intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour are found to be at least within the average range (>?2.3 percentile), and the individual is generally able to use language for effective communication."

5A11.2 Autism spectrum disorder with disorder of intellectual development and without impairment in functional language (fully specified name)

"This diagnostic qualifier is assigned when both definitional requirements for Autism spectrum disorder and a Disorder of intellectual development are met. The individual is generally able to use language for effective communication."

5A11.3 Autism spectrum disorder with impairment in functional language and without disorder of intellectual development (fully specified name)

"This diagnostic qualifier is assigned when definitional requirements for Autism spectrum disorder are met and there is impairment in functional language to a specified degree. Intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour are found to be at least within the average range (>?2.3 percentile)."

5A11.4 Autism spectrum disorder with both disorder of intellectual development and structural language impairment

"This diagnostic qualifier is assigned when definitional requirements for both Autism spectrum disorder and Disorder of intellectual development are met alongside impairment in functional language to a specified degree."

5A11.Y Other specified autism spectrum disorder

No definition (seems to be an automatically generated subcategory)

5A11.Z Autism spectrum disorder, unspecified

No definition (seems to be an automatically generated subcategory)

Important to note is also that Asperger's is not listed anymore under the "Inclusions" or "Synonyms"

The definition of autism spectrum disorder in the current beta version is:

"Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by persistent deficits in reciprocal social interaction and social communication, and by a range of restricted, repetitive, inflexible patterns of behaviour and interests and sensory sensitivities that may change in character during development. These deficits are usually a pervasive feature of the individual’s functioning in all settings, although they may vary in degree according to the social or educational context. In many cases development is abnormal in infancy, although this may only become evident in retrospect. Symptoms usually emerge during early childhood, but deficits may not become fully manifest until social demands exceed limited capacities."

It sounds strange to me to say I have mild autism instead of Aspergers. I'll stick with saying I have Aspergers I think

Just out of curiosity, what percentage of people with primary diagnosis of Aspergers are on SSDI because of that diagnosis? Are there any statistics available? People on WP receiving SSDI with primary diagnosis of AS?

What is it with everyone saying qualify for SSI? If you have a disability you should be on SSDI. SSI is an income based program, not a disability program. Only people who do not have enough work credits to qualify for SSDI or who have SSDI but still below a certain income level receive SSI. It's not too late. I was in mid 50's when I received SSDI.

That probably applies to a lot of people on WP, considering the massive amount of trouble finding and keeping a job. Even at 34, I don't nearly qualify for SSDI, so that's why I talk about qualifying for SSI.
