W.H.O. Write Pathological Demand Avoidance as a Distinct ASD Subtype in ICD11 Final Version

PDA_ASD_Parent

Have you all signed the petition? Currently on 1,134 signatures. ICD-11 is the next revision of the International Classfication of Diseases diagnostic manual. This will be the only way to get the resistance and denials about PDA resolved once and for all. If it has it's own diagnostic code (as it should do), they can't refuse to recognise it.

Hi,

I have signed and shared. Is ICD 11 due for distribution in June this year and, if so, does this mean we are asking for a revision of what may already be written and (sorry for the string of questions) if ICD 11 is following the lead of DSM 5, are we looking at a simplification of the diagnostic labelling which means that all forms of autism will be captured under the umbrella term 'ASD'?

If this is so, we have got a real battle on our hands.

PDA was already submitted to ICD-11 beta draft. Sorry not sure when it's being finalised and released.

Thank you.

Glad to see the CACHE L3 'Certificate in Understanding Autism' mentions PDA throughout its units. Mainly referred to as a distinct 'profile' of autism and links provided to NAS. However, raising awareness of PDA on this largely work-based qualification is a step in the right direction.

Good to hear HarHer. We need a lot more however!
