A. S. no more
According to an article in yesterday's newspaper…
The American Psychiatric Association is proposing major changes today to its diagnostic bible, the manual that doctors, insurers and scientists use in deciding what's officially a mental disorder and what symptoms to treat.
Don't say "mental retardation" — the new term is "intellectual disability". No more diagnoses of Asperger's syndrome — call it a mild version of autism instead.
