Calls it insufficiently rigorous and inadequate as a reference point for research.

Stunning!

I'm confused what this means :/ Do you know enough about it to explain it please? Does this have anything to do with Asperger's Syndrome being dissolved into a range of Autism?

It is adequate as a reference point for research, but some kind of research; like the areas in which NIHM state that they are into, may be hard with the DSM.
