The DSM is only the standard for diagnosis in America. Europe tends to only use it as a backup, but mostly makes use of the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD). So Aspergers still exists as a diagnosis outside of the U.S. I'm not completely sure about R.O.I. but I know that the UK does favour the ICD documentation. Though that's not to say the DSM doesn't affect us, it just doesn't act as the sole influence on diagnostic criteria.

People on the spectrum do also appear to have a higher susceptibility to other mental health disorders. I have a list as long as my arm, OCD, and DID being two of the more prominent ones. I was diagnosed with both of them at the same time as I was diagnosed with Aspergers.

My OCD is mostly intrusive thoughts and body symmetry issues. The intrusive thoughts are horrible to deal with but nobody sees them so in some ways they are easier to handle. Having to continuously tap/rub/nudge things with one side of my body because the other side touched something is more obvious and tends to draw attention.

I do hope you manage to speak to your PDoc about your concerns though and that you reach a better understanding and acceptance of what you're dealing with. Nobody likes to not know what's going on inside their mind.
