Hello
I finally received my draft report yesterday.
I was confused about the classification.
It states I was diagnosed using the DSM-1V criteria but I thought everyone in the UK was diagnosed using the ICD-10?
I might be getting confused as on my GP records it now shows Asperger's Syndrome F84.5 which is the ICD-10 code.
i did not think DSM-1V was being used now.
Is it usual to still have the DSM-1V used and if so reasons?
Thanks
Thanks, so where does the DSM-1V come into this?
Not at all sure. The teams I saw clearly preferred DSM 5 because of the inclusion of sensory issues but there might be variations between regions. I'm a bit confused about ICD-11 too. Maybe it takes a while for changes to filter through.
