[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 481460"] When they first started talking about lumping AS in under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) there was a lot of outcry from the AS community. I don't know if a majority of Aspies were against it, but the ones that are tend to be very outspoken. I'm still on the fence on whether it would be better or not for it to be so unceremoniously lumped into a category that spans so much and so far yet is still so very stereotyped and mysterious. A lot of the board that decides the criteria and indexing are also employed by or have thick monetary links to the pharma industry, so I view a lot of it as being more in the interests of pharma than in the interests of the patients.
