Cathy Pratt on the Proposed Changes to DSM-5

Cathy Pratt, director of the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, gave an interview for the IU News Room in today's headline: "Indiana University expert can comment on proposed changes to autism diagnosis". In the article, Pratt comments on the proposed changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) that would reclassify autism, Asperger's syndrome, and other pervasive developmental disorders into a single diagnosis.
