Eliminating Asperger's from the DSM?

This article explores the possibility Asperger's syndrome will be eliminated from the DSM, leaving just autism. The author argues we don't enough about the causes yet to really determine if that's appropriate. Also, he mentions the families who've waited for a diagnosis who will be frustrated, which is fair. Interesting debate over catagorizing differences and/or disability.
