Yes they're basically removing the special classification of it as a separate condition. Prior to that change it was basically Autism that was high functioning enough to be considered a separate condition. Now it's simply the high functioning end of the spectrum.
I like that they came up with a new classification for many of the kids that once were given pez dispensers full of Ritalin, to avoid their being given medication, all that training and familiarity with how drug companies work and they really think a new designation isn't a gift to those companies.
