Bring back the diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome
Asperger's Syndrome was removed from the diagnostic criteria in 2013 for the DSM-V and I want to show the government how many people still believe in Asperger's and Autism as two separate conditions.
I run a popular support page online called 'Asperger's Syndrome Awareness: Bryan's Advocacy' and it's a part of my dream to bring the diagnosis back. Please check out my page if you have a moment.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The DSM-V seems to be an American Psychiatric Association publication, and not the responsibility of the Government and Parliament. If you would like action to be taken in the NHS, you coudls tart a new petition calling for the action you want to see.
