Social reciprocity disorder - ICD 11
In the draft of ICD-11, there is proposed the diagnosis of "Social reciprocity disorder", who is presented as being a new name for Asperger's Syndrome:

Parent(s)
•Autism spectrum disorders
Definition
Social reciprocity disorder is characterised by persistent impairment in social reciprocity that is not usually accompanied by general intellectual impairment, severe language impairment or epilepsy. The limited ability to engage in reciprocal social interactions substantially constrains the roles the individual is able to take in society. Features of this disorder are manifest in early childhood but the impairing nature of this condition may be more obvious in later childhood, adolescence and adulthood. This category is specified as needing further testing.
Synonyms
•asperger's syndrome
Narrower Terms
•Autistic psychopathy *
•Schizoid disorder of childhood *
•autism; psychopathy
•childhood type; schizophrenic
•schizophrenia, childhood type
•schizophrenia, childhood type nos
•schizophrenia; syndrome of childhood
•schizophrenic syndrome of childhood nos
•syndrome; schizophrenic of childhood
Body Site
•Entire brain (body structure)
•Brain structure (body structure)
However, seems to be a big difference between this and today is known as "Asperger Syndrome".
Looks like a poor job of copying the new DSM, meny and most of us would end up getting some sort classic autism would we not? My impairments are far more then just social and have something that according to that discription should make too severe to really qualify.

Looking for the proposed diagnosis, it seems that everybody who has currently AS will have autism (like in the DSM-5); but for some strange reason, they are saying that SRD will be equivalente to AS.

Thats what makes it poor, Don't recall if PDD-NOS was in the ICD however isn't that what SRD/SCD is going to represent. Perhaps a small percentage of really mild AS cases will get SRD in re-evaluations and thats what it means.

Well whatever it is (and it does seem exceedingly pointless to keep sub-dividing autism in this way rather than just saying mild or severe autism etc.) I hope they aren't going to be using it as a label to slap on females with Asperger's/autism just because they haven't recognised or accepted the female presentation of the condition.
