I don't accept the DSM as authoritative. Wasn't homosexuality once regarded as mental illness? Likewise the range of autism wasn't known until recently when the past guidelines of a medical doctor were discredited. Many were denied care due to his arrogance and narrow vision. Adoption syndrome is real. I have personal experience of children that had exemplary behavior until they learned of their adoption. After that all hell broke loose in a manner of speaking. They became sociopaths unable to accept reality.

" I don't accept the DSM" = "I just like to make shit up with no evidence."

Per Darren:

There is nothing in the Wikipedia link you provide which leads me to believe that it will, in fact, be added to DSM in the foreseeable future.

The term has never achieved acceptance in the professional community.
