| Quick question about the following sentence from near the end of the article: ''The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual's diagnostic criteria have been roundly criticized for being far too vague and subjective. '' Is it the DSM's Asperger's diagnostic criteria that have been criticized, or *all* of the DSM's diagnostic criteria for all the disorders it tries to cover? I don't know, but I think the sentence or paragraph could be reworded a little to remove that confusion; as it is, I could read it either way. ] 17:07 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC) | Quick question about the following sentence from near the end of the article: ''The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual's diagnostic criteria have been roundly criticized for being far too vague and subjective.

I'm deleting a large chunk of text - however, since I wrote the text originally, no one should be concerned. :) I asked a friend knowelegeable about such matters to contribute some text, which I consider far superior to my initial entry and am thus putting in wholesale. -- April

- Both. Some people think that all or the vast majority of the DSM-IV is nonsense. A slightly larger number of people think that the specific entry for asperger's is nonsense. The former is arguably off-topic, though. -Martin
