Aspergers label being used

There are differences within the Autism Spectrum Disorder and probably people want to highlight it - which part of ASD they have. There is a big difference between a person, who only does one movement or sound whole day and is unable to do absolutely anything else, and a person, who gets very deep into some topic, even if it’s nothing really useful or productive, but has abilities to learn and function to some extent independently in daily life. 
I had periods in my life, when I could pace my room whole day literally and not use toilet or eat or drink. My family stopped me from that. But I could do it half day without any problem. I didn’t even know it was half day passed. I also had periods in my childhood and teens, when I could sit long hours and draw floor plans, create some data, or draw tram line schemes with timetables. I had some difficulties in learning, because the subjects were all too much and I needed more breaks and time to process what I heard and red. My therapist mentioned atypical autism to me. 
I think that the distinct names of conditions within the ASD should stay. Maybe the name of Asperger should be changed, for example to Sukhareva’s name. Grunya Sukhareva was a Soviet (born in Ukraine) child psychiatrist and first to actually identify and describe autism. So maybe her name could replace Asperger. But there are many people, who just identify with this diagnosis as it is, because they received it. And it’s widely used for example “Aspie quiz” - comes from Asperger, or Ritvo Autism Asperger diagnostic scale (RAADS- test) that we all here take and get some results. It’s also used in the diagnostic process. So it’s not that easy to remove this name from the use. I think that maybe there should be a clearer division within the ASD. I red, that in Island the Asperger is still being used as an official distinct diagnosis.

I think thats a very wise and erudite post, AoE, although I understand Iains position in his post below that divisions can be unhelpful, I think this could be the difference between diagnosis and how people feel or are made to feel about thier diagnosis. It dosen't help that therre's so much crossover between what's used in America and what's used here, we do online quizzes and diagnostic stuff, some seem to be much looser definitions than others. Obviously a proper diagnosis is needed so as people can be more specific about thier needs, although I also understand why some may wish to self diagnose, they may not be able to afford it, or may not wish to for other reasons, equally valid.

I think best would be, if the knowledge about autism within professionals and general population was higher. But for that are two things needed - time and open minds
