It happened last year, with the release of the DSM-5. Apparently, because the aeteology was so similar between Aspergers and High-functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder, they got rid of Aspergers. Bucketloads of controversy, not many positives aside for a slightly easier diagnosis for a spectrum disorder that every human has elements of. Hence why it's a spectrum.
