Asperger's & PDD-NOS may no longer be separate diagnoses.
Recently, the American Psychiatric Association released some preliminary draft changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) that may affect those diagnosed on the autism spectrum. There are several significant changes proposed, including: Asperger’s Syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) would both be subsumed into the Autistic Disorder category, meaning that they would no longer be considered a separate diagnosis from autism.

Would you like to get involved in spreading some Autism Awareness this April?
ASMT has two ideas for how you can get involved in celebrating April - Autism Awareness Month.
1) Start a "Blue Jean Day" program in your company. This program is easy to do and ASMT will give you all the information you need.
2) Start a Penny Drive in your child's classroom this April. This is an easy way to get children of all ages involved and provides an opportunity for spreading autism awareness in the schools. Again, the program is easy to do and ASMT will give you all the information and materials you need.
