It’s not asking for autism to be removed from the DSM, but is asking that research be less deficit focused and more ability focused.

Please sign the petition, even if you aren’t particularly interested in autism, if you agree with the petition’s aims, of course.

Also, feel free to share the URL of the petition with anyone. The NIMH is asking for feedback from the public by the 16th of this month.
