The home/school thing: a close relative of mine, girl with AS, is much too scared to break a rule by having a tantrum at school-- rule-breaking terrifies her. She feels safer at home, so she lets loose there. In public she presents as kind of dreamy, and hides the fact that she isn't always picking up on the social fine points by going along with other kids.

The proposed revision to DSM puts all autism spectrum disorders into one category. It's controversial. (I suspect people will still continue to informally use the label "Asperger's" to identify kids who have no cognitive deficits.)

The latest revision I know about is here-- still "proposed," not adopted AFAIK.
