New York, N.Y. (January 19, 2012) - Proposed changes in the definition of autism would sharply reduce the skyrocketing rate at which the disorder is diagnosed and might make it harder for many people who would no longer meet the criteria to get health, educational and social services, a new analysis suggests.

The definition is now being reassessed by an expert panel appointed by theAmerican Psychiatric Association, which is completing work on the fifth edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the first major revision in 17 years. The D.S.M., as the manual is known, is the standard reference for mental disorders, driving research, treatment and insurance decisions. Most experts expect that the new manual will narrow the criteria for autism; the question is how sharply.

The Palm Beach School for Autism is looking for experienced teachers with a teaching certificate to teach in Palm Beach County with a minimum of 2 years experience. The job openings are for immediate fill.

Teachers MUST be certified in both ESE K-12 and Elementary Ed K-6 as well as have (be working toward or willing to obtain) their ASD endorsement.
