Indeed, as we have agreed, the entire DSM-V seems to look more and more like a classification of illness right across a spectrum, with many, many intersections.
The example I always use is Autism...with it's Autistic Spectrum Disorders. I've worked with many autistic clients over the years, and plotting points of conversion and diversion on the Spectrum, from high to low functioning, has been a task for me many times. I 'teach' much of this to my client's parents..it gives them a sense of where to go and what to expect with their kids on the ASD.
