I'm one of those Aspies that seem NT on some days and very Aspie on others. I'm afraid about whether or not I'll need to be diagnosed again, because I might not pass as one.

Yeah me too. They say that everyone who currently has any autism diagnosis (HFA, Asperger's, etc.) will meet the new criteria but I'm not sure. My diagnosis is actually PDD-NOS and I was diagnosed as 5 and I met more of the criteria back then apparently, but not now. I don't remember that far back in detail.

I think it would be good because the number of people with ASD's will go down and they can find the causes.

I'm VERY insecure on both my good and bad days. I think that's because I know more things that Aspies do that aren't known commonly by NTs, so they don't seem to notice even when omething is obvoius to me.
