Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The symptoms of Asperger’s Syndrome are now included in a condition called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is now the name used for a wide range of autism-like disorders. Some providers may still use the term Asperger’s Syndrome, but others will say “ASD – without intellectual or language impairment.”

Detailed explanation-2: -Asperger Syndrome was replaced in the clinical world but still lives among those previously diagnosed. In the world around us, Asperger’s remains constant. Despite the decision made in 2014 and the doctors for and against the DSM change, the term Asperger’s has yet to fade.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 2015, the DSM-5 officially folded Asperger Syndrome into the umbrella diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The organization felt it was appropriate to alter its name at that time to the “Asperger/Autism Network” to reflect this development and also to recognize its reach had expanded beyond New England.
