How would it ruin future developments in technology? You do realise that it's just a slightly different label and not a forced rewiring of people's brains, right? And that people with Asperger's are not the only ones who can be good with technology?

1. because the people who may do good for the furture may be not giveing the things to work at full protetal and they might not be getting the help for AS

yes i do.

alot of the tech we use today is thought to be from people with AS
being put under a autistic disorder scale is not going to be good.
Asperger's is already considered a type of autism, has been for a long time.
It's already been in newspapers and TV, and I think it's already too late
The whole point of the DSM is to give doctors and researchers a set of universal definitions to use, so that if one doctors says "this person has X disorder" another doctor will have a fairly good idea of what to expect. The problem is that professionals find it hard to agree on the distinction between classic autism and asperger's, borderline cases may get one diagnosis from one doctor and the other from a second. Joining the two diagnoses with a severity scale is intended to help this.

How this is going to ruin future development in technology is beyond me. I'm an Air Force Officer, and the last I checked, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is doing nicely, they're working the bugs out of the F-22 Raptor, and my computer still works.

I strongly dislike what you're implying.
You do realise that if anything, being diagnosed with Autism rather than Aspergers will garner more help, not less. Also, that people with Autism aren't automatically shunned and disqualified from life. You seem to be implying, and if that's not your intention you should correct it, that if you have a dx of Autism rather than Aspergers you will end up doing less and contributing less to society.
That's just not true.

Oh no it would be far to embarrassing to be put in the same category as others with more sever autism. We have to try and stay as divided as possible because for all means they might think we're all ret*ds. Well you know what screw them, I am pretty sure lower functioning autistics need some representation as well. Trying to pretend like they have some other disorder is ridiculous...to me how they are changing the DSM makes sense.
