What matters here is not the general inter-rater reliability for all autism diagnoses, but only those for the patients which would have otherwise been described as having Asperger's, which can often present as a very mild disorder. Given that many Asperger's cases are mild, it is no surprise that there is low inter-rater reliability. Is there evidence that for this type of individual, there is a higher inter-rater reliability with the diagnosis of "autism"?
