Trumpcare eliminates mental health coverage from Medicaid

"Asperger's" isn't a real diagnosis any more and shouldn't have been one in the first place.

I most cordially disagree.

It was an artificial division within the autism spectrum that in practice functioned as a stratification.

Wow, what the hell dude?

Care to make an actual argument to the contrary?

I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was very young. I'm glad that the diagnosis is autism spectrum disorder now, and I'm much more willing to be open about it than I was before.

I was diagnosed in 1995. I'm not going to start changing the definition I'm personally comfortable with.

Just so you know though according to the DSM 5 and whatever doctor you see that diagnosis no longer exists.

The NHS uses ICD-10 where it remains
