DSM-5 Add SPD!

Hello all! There's been lots of hubbub regarding the new DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition) that's in the works. They are actually eliminating Asperger's Syndrome, Rett's Syndrome, and Childhood Disintegrated Disorder for the upcoming edition. Many advocates are fighting for SPD to be officially added. Anyone may submit information or suggestions for added criteria at dsm5.org. Submissions are open up until April 20th, and the final version is due out May 2013. We encourage you to speak up for your children or loved ones! If it does make it into the new version, this means more related services may be made available for your child's comfort and over all well being!
