Will ICD-11 influence DSM-6?

DSM-5 will not be around for ever and Asperger Syndrome still technically exists in ICD-11 as 6A02.0 Autism spectrum disorder without disorder of intellectual development and with mild or no impairment of functional language.

Will DSM-6 be updated in a way to closer align with ICD-11 by including a category with the same criteria as 6A02.0 or will the Americans want to go their own way and diverge from what the rest of the world uses?
