In case you hadn't heard, the American Psychiatric Assn is proposing elimination of Asperger's from it's next version of the DSM (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual), and instead simply lumping us all under the umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

From the article:  "The draft manual, posted at http://www.DSM5.org, is up for public debate through April, and it's expected to be lively. Among the autism community especially, terminology is considered key to describing a set of poorly understood conditions. People with Asperger's syndrome, for instance, tend to function poorly socially but be high-achieving academically and verbally, while verbal problems are often a feature of other forms of autism."

What's your thoughts on this?
