sorry I have a firm opinion it's ok. all your poll choices are pretty negative.

Well, one was positive, but I did forget one more positive one that is there now. I've also edited out what you quoted above but that's okay.

I did speak to one.

He didn't look it up at that time, so he used what I said as a basis for his comments. He was a fan of merging it all into just "autistic disorder" (the spectrum).

He wasn't that keen on the changes to OCD though, incidentally ("insight" being a big one).

Glad to hear it. That's another of the changes that has made very angry. While I think it's good to add a category for Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders, like trichotillomania and atypical hoarding, how stupid are they to take OCD out of the anxiety disorders category?! The whole disorder, at its core, is about anxiety, and it's the most severe of the anxiety disorders! Foolish. I cannot wait until May 4th, when they start accepting another round of feedback. I'm going to tear the DSM-V apart...

I don't really care. I'm always just going to be stuck with this label, whatever it's in.

Fortunately we needn't care at all about the American Psychiatric Association and hence not a jot also about the DSM where we live. Wrong country and all that.

The thing about it is that the other Obsessive-Compulsive-like disorders are also about anxiety at the core. I know someone with OCPD, and its very much about anxiety for him. I know people who've researched hording - its very much about anxiety for them. In general those disorders are about anxiety, not just OCD.

However, I'd agree that I don't approve of all the changes in the DSM-5. I however do really like the ones for autism though.

This is admittedly a very small sampling so far, but the results are so far revealing precisely what I suspected. I'm going to sit on this for a while and see where it goes.

What about an option of haven't looked into it enough/just want to see the results. I probably wouldn't qualify under DSM5 might not even qualify for dsm 4 aspergers.

Because it isn't pertinent to the specific information I'm actually looking for. Wait. I get what you mean. Same thing another user wanted, and yeah, I can add that.

There ya go. It's there now.

My main issue is with requirement D, which states:

Quote:

D. Symptoms together limit and impair everyday functioning.

I don't see how my systems limit and impair everyday function, sure I don't have as many friends as most people, I got to work, I have a job, own a home, and take care of my self without outside support. Not sure how my everyday functions are being limited and impaired.

Well perhaps your social function? That point is also something which i wouldn't qualify for the diagnosis. I go to school and work, I can take care of myself perfectly fine. I still live with my parents but thats for financial practicality. I can take care of myself without assistance.

The dsm 5 in general, I think the threshold is too high. I agree with the symptoms, just not the threshold. I think I only have 1 symptom on the entire dsm 5 that i guess would be "clinically significant". I have other symptoms but they've gotten very mild over the years.

I have mixed feelings on the changes, though my thoughts on the matter aren't entirely educated. The one thing I'm definitely cool with is the fact that sensory processing issues will finally be a core characteristic of ASD, since they're pretty damn relevant.

The results of the poll are more revealing than I thought they would be. This is really interesting....
