No matter the evidence, there are those that refuse to believe such a debilitating disorder could manifest in childhood. Very similar to those twenty years ago that explained childhood depressive disorder could not exist because of the natural spirit of child development. The label should not be changed, for it is not the problem. Our reaction to the disorder and our lack of prompt, evidenced-based treatment is what needs to be changed.
