Asperger syndrome and DSM V changes
Hi LeadSongDog,

Re: DSM V controversy. I'm keen to make sure the scope of MEDRS is clear and it isn't used inappropriately for restricting non medical-facts to only peer-reviewed journals, say. That the DSM V changes to Asperger syndrome are controversial, is not something we need to conduct a double-blind randomised controlled trial of physicians to discover. I'd love to source it to the best source possible, which is why I was encouraged to see you'd found a review to use. Unfortunately, the article text is "The proposed change [to the DSM] is controversial" but the review doesn't mention the DSM V. I accept both are dealing with the HFA/Asperger "is there a difference/isn't there" issue but it isn't close enough IMO to support the article text. Can you find anything better?

 * I take your point, it may just need some rewording of the text. From the abstract, PMID 20151184 appears to offer some utility, but it is not exactly a review, but a "Brief Report" with a significant review component. Similar discussion pertains to the autism/schizophrenia classifications in DSM-V, see DOI 10.1016/j.brainres.2010.11.031 for instance. The whole point may eventually be mooted with ongoing work in fcMRI, but wp:Crystal. LeadSongDog come howl!  21:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
