[NABS-L] Question about DSM-5

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi, 
Thank you all for the responses. That's good to know. The copy I have is from Bookshare and looks accessible, but I just wanted to see if there were any accessibility barriers. 
Thanks again, 
Vejas

I would have thought the DSM-5, being such an important text, would have diagrams, but searching in the text for "picture" or "figure" don't seem to lead to anything, even a figure description.
