I had a half page long list of hashtags I was thinking about using for this week. And then I stumbled into the end of the #CDCGrandRounds on autism and the new DSM. I had read about the NIH seeking public comments on the impact of the DSM5 on autism diagnosis. This is because of concerns that the shift in how to diagnosis is resulting in a decrease in diagnoses resulting in people not getting needed services. That derives from the DHHS IACC report: IACC Statement Regarding Scientific, Practice and Policy Implications of Changes in the Diagnostic Criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder. That’s pretty intense. So when I saw the CDC was having a Grand Rounds on the topic, live streaming it, with an active Twitter back channel, and then a followup Twitter chat the next day also sponsored by the CDC (#AutismPHGR – Autism Public Health Grand Rounds), well, how very interesting! If you look at WHO was tweeting, it reads like some sort of Who’s Who on the topic. Very interesting indeed. I hope you think so, too.

Reliable autism estimates from different countries can provide clues about risk factors. Can @CDCgov support global research #CDCGrandRounds

Many dont have access to needed resources & quality school. Autism diagnosis & therapies expensive-out of reach too mang. #AutismPHGR

Prroblem: Something wrong with your attachment? I tried to watch it both from here and from the direct tweet, and the sound did not work on either. (Yes, I tried everything I knew.) So, last resort, I ScoopedIt! and got sound.

Attachment? I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean.

Ah, that’s a link to a Youtube video. Clicking on it should have taken you to Youtube. The Twitter embed code includes it, but different CSS for blog layout deal with the embed code in different ways. In theory, you should also be able to copy the link from the Tweet.

Thanks for reply. I just ran afoul of the embed code. No biggie since I was able to work around it.

FYI The sound is muted on this and your other postings of it and I could find no way to unmute it. In desperation I curated it to Scoopit! and there it worked. Mary
