Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

It's clear why the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders belongs on every therapist's shelf. It's a growth industry, and it's obviously bound to wind up in the glove compartment of every Hollywood agent's BMW, too. There are 300 fine and dandy syndromes right now, and there will be more next year and more the year after, and they're all just waiting for celebrity spokespeople, greeting cards, made-for-TV movies and tell-all books.

Asperger’s initial accounts[1] and other diagnostic schemes[21] include descriptions of motor clumsiness. Children with AS may be delayed in acquiring motor skills that require motor dexterity, such as bicycle riding or opening a jar, and may appear awkward or "uncomfortable in their own skin". They may be poorly coordinated, or have an odd or bouncy gait or posture, poor handwriting, or problems with visual-motor integration, visual-perceptual skills, and conceptual learning.[1][3] They may show problems with proprioception (sensation of body position) on measures of apraxia (motor planning disorder), balance, tandem gait, and finger-thumb apposition. There is no evidence that these motor skills problems differentiate AS from other high-functioning ASDs.[1]
