Isn't ASD characterized for most of us by severely delayed social development?
Yes. I also noticed they turned "Sociopath" and "Psychopath" into "Anti Social Personality Disorder." In other words, the person running around trying to kill people isn't really a psychopath, he is merely anti social. I'm sure there are other examples. Like I said, they simplified it into uselessness.I read that they purposely try to make diagnoses sound scientific to prevent issues with stigmatizing the ordinary language of laymen.
