This is the resultant of the diagnosis over the years being combined. My original DX back in April 2010 was Asperger’s Syndrome. But now some refer to this as ASD Support Level One, High Functioning Autism, or Autism. And there’s still a few out there using Asperger’s despite Nazi connection issues.
Honestly, the condition could have just been called Little Professor Disorder just as easily, based on how people referred to it back then.
What I predict is what was put together as one will once more be taken apart. We’ve already have seen the acceptance by the CDC the diagnosis concept of profound autism.
So we may see the spectrum subdivided into the particular wavelengths of light vs. being seen as pure white light as it is today.
