Terms for certain learning difficulties may change

Added on Thursday 11 Feb 2010

Psychiatrists' bible to get new conditions, names. If your child is often grumpy and throws fits, they could soon be diagnosed with TDD, or temper dysregulation with dysphoria to give it its full name. If they have Asperger's syndrome, you might have to stop calling it that and switch to "mild autism spectrum disorder." And if getting a handle on math is their problem, they could have "dyscalcula."
