I thought the term Aspergers Syndrome was removed from the DSM-V and people with the diagnosis were all grouped under ASD. Much like ADD into ADHD in that the boundaries between them are way too blurred.
Edit:Corrected edition #
True, but that doesn't mean everyone has stopped using the term yet, and that's very true of folks that had the diagnosis of Asperger's for a big chunk of their lives.
