After wasting the whole day doing boring adult stuff, I now get to write. It’s going well right now. Got my instrumental playlist going, coffee in hand, and a very nice program for helping me organize my 1,400 ideas for a 45 minute episode.

FACT CHECK: The story going around about the DSM-5-TR changes to ASD (autism spectrum disorder) diagnostic criteria becoming more "conservative" is way overblown.

I was curious about the story after seeing it around a bit and noticing that each time I saw the story it mentioned the word "conservative." It's a classic sign that a story is coming from a single source of information. After looking around, I found a podcast interview with the Editor and Co-chair of the American Psychiatric Associations’ DSM-5 text revision, Michael B. First, M.D that appears to be the source of the "conservative" language.

Here's the link to that podcast: https://therapyreimagined.com/modern-therapist-podcast/whats-new-in-the-dsm-5-tr-an-interview-with-dr-michael-b-first/

The show notes contain the image I've attached to this post that discusses the "conservative" nature of the new ASD diagnostic criteria. However, listening to the podcast Dr. First only uses the word "conservative" once to describe the *current* DSM-5 ASD diagnostic criteria. He states that the current criteria is meant to be conservative but the criteria that appeared in the DSM-5 could be misinterpreted. Here's how:

In the DSM-5, there are two relevant categories to the ASD diagnostic criteria: A. "social communication and interaction" and B. "restricted, repetitive behaviors". The category that is "changing" is A. social communication and interaction.

The original text of the DSM-5 was meant to require all 3 areas listed under this category to be required for a diagnosis. However, the text was not entirely clear and could be misunderstood, causing a clinician to think that only one of the areas listed in the category were required for a diagnosis.

The change to the ASD criteria happening in the DSM-5-TR is clarifying that all 3 areas are required. So the criteria *is* getting more restrictive, right? Well, no.

The DSM-5 is constantly updated by the American Psychiatric Association, but only the online version. These changes to the ASD diagnostic criteria already happened years ago for the electronic version of the DSM-5. In fact, you can already see them online with the updated criteria. Here's the CDC's page for the diagnostic criteria of ASD in children for healthcare providers, which uses the DSM-5:

This page states:

"...a child must have persistent deficits in each of three areas of social communication and interaction..." (emphasis mine) - https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/hcp-dsm.html

This page was last updated in June 2020 and reflects the "new," "conservative" ASD diagnostic criteria.

The "conservative" changes to the ASD diagnostic criteria are not only already in effect, they have been for years. This story going around is simply not a big deal and no major changes are coming that aren't already in place.

Are We Protecting Essential Workers? Are We Protecting Ourselves?

“During the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, experts and officials cautioned against widespread public use of face masks. US Surgeon General Jerome Adams tweeted, ‘STOP BUYING MASKS!’ He added that masks ‘are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!’”

“But as the outbreak has worsened, experts have increasingly acknowledged that public use of masks could help prevent the spread of Covid-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), previously resistant to encouraging mask use by the general public, is now reportedly considering it.”

Vox, March 31, 2020: “The evidence for everyone wearing masks, explained: There is some evidence that the public should wear masks. But let doctors and nurses get them first,” by German Lopez

NPR, April 1, 2020: “Fighting COVID-19 Is Like 'Whack-A-Mole,' Says Writer Who Warned Of A Pandemic,” by  Terry Gross

A homemade masks caution

“Health Canada is advising the public, as well as healthcare professionals (HCPs) to use caution when considering the use of homemade masks to protect against the transmission of COVID-19.”

Government of Canada, Health Canada, March 31, 2020: “Considerations in the use of homemade masks to protect against COVID-19″

“While public health officials tell Canadians not to wear masks unless they’re sick, other countries take a different approach, leading to confusion for some.“

Canadian Nurses invoke right to wear N95 masks

“Dozens of nurses across Canada have invoked labour laws to demand the right to wear N95 masks while treating certain COVID-19 patients, their national union head says, as health-care workers gird themselves for a feared wave of new coronavirus cases.”

“Nurses in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta have cited occupational health and safety legislation that allows employees to refuse work they believe is unsafe, after hospitals barred them from donning the higher-level masks, said Linda Silas, president of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions.”

National Post, March 31, 2020: “Canadian nurses treating COVID-19 patients cite unsafe-work laws to demand N95 masks,” by Tom Blackwell

Get Inspired by How These 5 Healthcare Professionals are Using Instagram

Instagram attracts users in droves and boasts a high interaction rate, making it the perfect platform for healthcare providers to build an audience and establish connections with potential patients.

   Most medical marketers are familiar with the benefits of social media advertising, but many are hesitant to invest in Instagram beyond paid media. Some HCPs may feel that making an Instagram account is personal rather than professional, but Deloitte reported in 2016 that healthcare consumers are increasingly seeking “greater personalization” and “more engaging digital experiences” from medical practitioners.

In other words, connecting with patients on a personal level through engaging digital content directly benefits your bottom line, and an Instagram account is the perfect place to begin establishing your social media presence.

Not only does Instagram boast over 1 billion monthly users, but 75 percent of them “take action” in response to the platform’s content. These elements make Instagrammers a particularly promising audience for healthcare providers, as users tend to interact more than those on other social media platforms, and demonstrate a widespread willingness to visit company’s websites, profiles, or product pages.

Any HCP looking to boost their Instagram presence or get involved on the platform for the first time can learn from the doctors and nurses below who are pioneering a new engagement modality between medical practitioners and their patients.

1. VADM Jerome M. Adams, MD, MPH

Despite reaching the highest possible ranking in public health — he was appointed the “Nation’s Doctor” in 2017 — U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams is accessible to his community, and the country at large, through his Instagram account. He has uplifted youth influencers advocating against e-cigarette use, posted photos of his family running together, and even shared his brother’s struggles with addiction to shed light on the opioid epidemic.

The @u.s.surgeongeneral handle gets passed from one office holder to the next, so Adams did not build his following single-handedly. Still, he keeps his audience engaged by providing online content that is equal parts educational and personally meaningful.

2. Katie Duke ACNP-BC

As Katie Duke points out, there are many famous doctors, but very few nurses who have gained the visibility and status of public figures. She has grown her social media presence in response to the lack of female healthcare (specifically nurse practitioner) role models.

With her account @thekatieduke, Duke has amassed over 100,000 followers by publishing inspiring, honest, and relatable content. She frequently illuminates the challenges and rewards of working as a nurse while sending messages of female empowerment and body positivity.

3. Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson

A self-described “Seattle pediatrician, mom, [and] author,” Wendy Sue Swanson shares science and healthcare information from her @mamadocmed account. She focuses on dispensing pediatric health tips, discussing innovative medicine topics, and advocating for digital health initiatives.

Swanson’s profile successfully integrates with her brand messaging as a whole and prompts users to engage with content elsewhere — her posts frequently link to her blog and podcasts, which provide further information on relevant topics.

4. Zubin Damania, MD

Zubin Damania is an internal medicine physician turned stand-up comic and host of the live medical show “The Incident Report.” Damania uses Instagram to raise awareness about issues within the healthcare community. His memes — images with funny or clever captions — spark conversations about topics from the dangers of celebrity health advice to the misinformation spread by the anti-vaccination movement.

Educated at UCSF and Stanford University, Damania has impressive credentials. But while the concerns he covers are serious, his @zdoggmd persona never is — his light-hearted, easily digestible content helps drive his 202,000 followers to engage with topics that matter while enjoying a laugh.

5. Dr. Michael Apa

Just as he splits his time between New York City and Dubai, aesthetic dentist Michael Apa divides his Instagram account, @doctorapa, between different genres: smile makeovers, travel photos, memes (dentistry-related and otherwise), and motivational advice.

What Apa does well — besides aesthetic dentistry — is diversify his content to draw over a quarter of a million followers with different backgrounds and interests. Whether you’re looking for a joke, glimpses of the jet-setting lifestyle, or simply whiter teeth, you’ll encounter Dr. Apa’s page and hopefully find a reason to stay, increasing the odds that you’ll remember his services in the future.
