Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying. Are you concerned by the way that's Aspergers has been rolled into the autistic spectrum?


The person you're replying to may be referring to the fact that DSM-5's diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder exclude a large number of people who would formerly have qualified as having Aspberger's Syndrome. TFA also talks about how some prefer to keep the AS label vs. ASD.


Thank you
