    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.

      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.
