Asbergers is not a thing anymore. It has been folded into autism, which is now a broader diagnosis than it once was. I'm sure the powers that be had a reason to combine them; and I am no where near qualified to have an opinion on if it was good idea or not. But expanding the definition of autism to include milder forms was 100% a choice that was made. The fact that the public perception subsequently shifted to view autism as less severely disease seems to me to likely be causally related.
