What will the pros and cons be to the post-2013 diagnosis (as compared to DSM-IV)? Wouldn't I either be moved into the spectrum or have my spectrum label dissolved all together? I know my OP sounded stupid too.
There will be a new section, "social communication disorder", which will be
outside of autism spectrum. So there will probably be three groups of people
1. The group that is moved from Asperger to broader "autism spectrum"
2. The group moved
outside of autism spectrum into "social communication" disorder
3. The group undiagnosed altogether
By scanning the criteria I believe I will fall into category 2. By the way I think category 3 will have very few people, thanks to category 2.
