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
Mine says "Autism Spectrum Disorder ICD10 f84.0, DSM V 299.0 (Read Code Eu84z-1)". Inside it says I should read about Asperger Syndrome as that is also likely to be pertinent.
