| ASPERGER SYNDROME | CLASSIFICATION | EFFECTIVENESSSummary: Observes that given the rise of diagnoses of autistic spectrum disorders, accurate classification is imperative. Takes an analytical look at the current and future classification of autistic spectrum disorders in the DSM-IV and the DSM-V respectively, assessed against the original observations of Asperger and Kanner. Finds clear problems of validity in the DSM-IV, that are resolved in the DSM-V. Concludes that despite the loss of the term Asperger syndrome, an identity for some, the DSM-V is seen as a positive move, and a more accurate description of the autistic spectrum.
