Results of the survey of November 9, 2025

--------------------------------------

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has undergone dramatic changes in definition and perception over the past 40 years, sparking ongoing debates among families, clinicians, and advocates. New debates have arisen as to whether or not there should be a splitting of the diagnosis into separate categories — particularly a new designation for “profound autism.” Should the autism spectrum be split apart?

Yes------------------51.9%

No-------------------48.1%

I've experienced different levels of autism in education, and some can function in the classroom better than others.

Cannot respond. Would need in-depth experience and global research to be able to respond accurately.

Profound autism requires special care and highly trained personnel within a well-planned environment.

As a seasoned teacher, I found it easier to first plan for a child when the DSM had distinguishable categories. As a college teacher, preparing future teachers, I also find it easier to share techniques, including distinguishable categories.

The word spectrum implies that there are varying levels of Autism. People present with different qualities of Autism to varying degrees. This has always been the case, and schools need to provide support based on the students' level of need.

Due to the range of Autism, students attending public school should be able to get the care they need based on their needs.

I'm a school administrator for children with autism. Spectrum is a deliberate choice that describes a BROAD array of genetic features that cause problems with social communication & interaction. A dual diagnosis is better than splintering it

I agree, but I don't know how this will help the teachers on a daily basis.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
