Sheffer points out, "The official diagnosis of Asperger disorder has recently been dropped from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders because clinicians largely agreed it wasn’t a separate condition from autism."

She's really after trying to get term dropped from popular usage.  She'd have a better chance of that happening if she would at least get the ball rolling by offering an alternative (I don't know, "Benign Autism", "Low grade Autism"?).
