Do they not just diagnose asd here now? My son has asd as his diagnosis but they said as he doesn't have a learning disability it is what they used to diagnose as aspergers.
I don't think you have got worse - it's just that they've changed the terminology.
agreed its called autism or ASD in the UK now when medicaly refering to the whole spectrum in the run up to next years ICD release [which will see the merging of ASD diagnoses].
if were diagnosed as classic autistic,and not atypical or aspergan they woud be putting autistic disorder on records,its worth asking his diagnoses to explain it further.
