We are in a caregiver crisis. Can New York's CDPAP help?
Doris and Sarah’s story using The Consumer Direct Personal Assistance Program:
"I would like to introduce you to my daughter Sarah. She has a beautiful spirit, the biggest heart, a great sense of humor, and a contagious laugh and smile, all mixed in with a bit of sass.

Sarah is 41, and was born with CHARGE Syndrome a rare condition with a wide range of severe complex medical needs... The fear of losing my job was real as I required more time off to meet Sarah’s needs and take her to the increasing amount of doctor appointments.


I reached out to then-Assemblyman Joe Morelle. I shared our story about the ongoing caregiving crisis: Why couldn’t parents of disabled adult children be compensated through the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) for caregiving?

He was interested. I knew other states had this model, but I needed to know how they implemented it. It took us 5 years working together to pass legislation that allowed parents of disabled adult children with disabilities to be compensated through CDPAP.

I advocate for because she needs a voice when hers cannot be heard."

As a parent or guardian of a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, you have probably heard reference to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

In 1952, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) created the first edition of the DSM, which served as the first official manual of mental disorders for clinical use.

What has changed in the DSM-5?

Every few years, the APA revises the DSM. The DSM-5, released in 2013, is the current main guide for mental health providers in the U.S., and it provides standards for making autism diagnoses. This version shows some changes in the way experts diagnose autism compared to the previous version.

Under the DSM-IV autism diagnosis, doctors could diagnosis patients with four separate disorders: autism, Asperger’s disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, or pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified.

Due to inconsistent application of these separate diagnoses, the DSM-5 puts them all under the main diagnosis of autism. If your child previously received a categorized autism diagnosis, you should know that your healthcare provider could still indicate this diagnosis alongside the current DSM-5 standards for ASD.

The DSM-5 consolidated three categories of symptoms of autism into two.

There is also an addition of sensory issues as a symptom under the restricted/repetitive behavior category including hyper- or hypo-reactivity to sensory input.


The DSM-5 also specifies a new diagnosis, social communication disorder, for disabilities in social communication without restricted, repetitive behaviors.

This is a communication disorder, not an autism diagnosis. Some children who had previously received a diagnosis of PDD-NOS may now receive a diagnosis of social communication disorder. However, this would apply only to newly diagnosed people.

Curious about navigating your child’s autism diagnosis?
