Which diagnosis would you choose for your child?

Arran

This is a question for parents and carers. Not adults with ASD.

If you were given a choice of having your child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1 under DSM-5, or Asperger Syndrome under ICD-10 (assume for simplicity it's by the same psychologist on the same day), then which diagnosis would you choose, and why?

    I don't want this to turn into a big thing -  but - so what?    Mercedes built engines for bombers, as did BMW.      Maybach is a premium brand.    Killed millions.         It's just sad, fashionable political correctness to undermine anything non-American (see who started this smear campaign)

    I have Asperger's and I'm proud of it.  Smiley

    • He is actually thought to be connected with a lot of deaths of learning disabled people at the time, although originally he was thought to have been an advocate for the highly intelligent autistic people at the time. You just had to be the "right type".
