Interesting - I'd assumed we were heading towards a more overarching ND type catch all diagnosis given the overlaps between conditions and likelihood that there's more than one condition at play.
I do think the 'profound' definition is helpful, though waiting until 8 for that to be formalised seems like a nightmare when it comes to the already incredibly difficult to access special school places - we are heading towards a time where we are all 'special' schools, despite there being an ever increasing demand for specialist provision, often with places filled by children a long way off any profound definition as they have parents who knows the system and are able to advocate.
