I also had a lot of difficulties relating to socialization growing up related to ASD, even if they are less relevant now that I'm an adult.
From the article: "field trials showed that DSM-5 ASD has improved specificity at the cost of excluding more cognitively able individuals, including up to 75% of those previously diagnosed with AS". Also from the article: "there is evidence that patients, families, education professionals, and health professionals connote AS with positive features and associate Autism with strange behavior, learning disability and family dysfunction".
Autism correlates with various things and I imagine that these would involve different therapy. For example, the number thrown around is that 1/3 are nonverbal and do not develop functional speech in adulthood (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Autism&oldid=7996...). In children, about half engage in self-harm (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2788.2003....) or physical aggression (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1750946712...).
