Has your diagnosis officially changed from # Aspergers to #Autism?

Has your diagnosis officially changed from # Aspergers to #Autism?

I was wondering how many of you are still referring to Aspergers as a diagnosis? In the advent of the recently released DSM 5, Aspergers and PDD-NOS have been removed and are no longer a diagnosis.

With that being the case, how have your doctor's decoded to proceed?

Has you or your child's diagnosis been changed from Aspergers to Autism? I know that most kids won't notice the difference but I would guess that many adults would.

How do you feel about having your diagnosis changed?
