First, an op-ed by psychiatrist Paul Steinberg, "Asperger's History of Over-Diagnosis," delves into the history of the issue:

"[C]hildren and adults with significant interpersonal deficits are being lumped together with children and adults with language acquisition problems. Currently, with the loosening of the diagnosis of Asperger, children and adults who are shy and timid, who have quirky interests like train schedules and baseball statistics, and who have trouble relating to their peers -- but who have no language-acquisition problems -- are placed on the autism spectrum."

Next, "I Had Asperger Syndrome. Briefly," by writer Benjamin Nugent, details his experience being misdiagnosed with the condition.

"The biggest single problem with the diagnostic criteria applied to me is this: You can be highly perceptive with regard to social interaction, as a child or adolescent, and still be a spectacular social failure. This is particularly true if you're bad at sports or nervous or weird-looking."

The latest potential hornet's nest centers on the upcoming fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which is due out in 2013. The DSM, which is put out by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), is the mental health profession's bible, setting the standard for research, treatment and insurance decisions.

It's likely that the new DSM will have a very different definition of autism. Instead of three autism subtypes - Asperger syndrome, autism spectrum disorder and pervasive developmental disorder - not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) - there will be just one, autism spectrum disorder. Some experts believe the changes are needed because current definitions of autism are too hazy, leading perhaps to an over diagnosis of the condition.

The new definition is meant to streamline and clarify what it means to have autism. But many experts are quoted in news articles about being worried that it could radically limit the number of people who are diagnosed with autism, and thus deny them access to needed health, educational and social services. One of those concerned experts, Dr. Fred R. Volkmar, director of the Child Study Center at Yale School of Medicine, expressed his concerns about the proposed changes at a recent Icelandic Medical Association meeting.

The panel downplays the numbers of people who will be affected, but no one really knows.

Read more about the proposed DSM changes at Diagnosing Autism and the APA's press release on the changes.

Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) is a national non-profit organization providing education, advocacy and support for individuals with ADHD. Many of you may be very familiar with the current shortage of medications to treat ADHD. CHADD is working to get a better handle on the extent of the shortages and would like some information from you.

If you would take just a moment to answer a few questions about your personal experience with the availability of your medication, then CHADD will know much more about the extent of the problem, all the medications being affected, and the geographic distribution. It is important that CHADD hears from people who are not having problems as well as those who are. They need both sides of the picture.

Please go to the link below to learn more about how you can participate.

It may be that you are a parent of a child with ADHD and want to implement new strategies to help your child. Or perhaps you want to make more time for self-care so you feel less exhausted. Maybe you are a spouse/partner of an adult with ADHD and you have relationship goals for the new year. Or it may be that you have ADHD yourself and there are specific resolutions you have chosen to help make coping with ADHD a little easier.

Please share your New Year's resolutions and specifically resolutions that are related in any way to ADHD. Your resolutions may help to inspire others!
