Why are there specific categories only for Asperger's Syndrome in the options in the profile section, but all other autism spectrum diagnoses lumped under 'other autism spectrum disorder'? I am diagnosed classic autistic and I had to choose the 'other autism spectrum disorder' option, which seems inaccurate.

I don't know. It might be because this was designed to be an "Asperger's website" (not saying that is a good thing). I agree that there should be more options.
