I live outside of the U.S. so it doesn't overly affect me either way since we don't use the DSM as our only source of classifications.

That said, if I did live in the U.S., I'd be pretty annoyed by it. Even though they are all part of the same spectrum, they have enough differences to be treated as such instead of being lumped in under one category with no room for the differences. Limiting it in such a way will mean there may well be people with AS who do not get diagnosed any more because they don't fit enough of the Autism only diagnostic criteria.
