They're talking about PDD-NOS.

Thanks LostInSpace.

PDDNOS..
it's probably better to have AS as a label than PDDNOS as there is more known about AS,but if are in need of support,are probably going to have needs understood better with PDDNOS rather than AS,as PDDNOS includes people who have a stronger form of autism,people are forced to judge on individual traits rather than one stereotype like with AS,guess that will change as more people hear about it though.
