The DSM-V is in the process of being reviewed/written/examined and changed. There is a lot of talk about narrowing the parameters for Autism and general Spectrum Disorders. This would change coverage by insurance, diagnosis, and therapies.
If this happens, I think there will be even more Jenny McCarthy's out there. More parents will become overly-sensitive, militant and loud. Now, I fully believe that there are true cases of Autism, but I also believe it's over-diagnosed. Much like ADD/ADHD 10 years ago. I *do* worry about those who truly are on the spectrum and how they'll fall through any cracks.
I think the SN boards and blogs are going to explode.
