It's being published by a the APA, a private organization, by a private publisher.

There is a lot of concern in the public about over-pathologizing expression of cognition, emotion or behavior that are 'typical'. It's unclear if that concern is more about things like becoming exploited by clinicians trying to sweep in clients, or whether that concern of the public is a fear of becoming labelled/stigmatized.
