The S in ASD stands for spectrum, as there is a diverse range of symptoms that may lead to an autism diagnosis. Many of these are not at odds with analytical or creative capacity. There's a gap between where aspergers tends to stopped being diagnosed and being unemployable, and it's not unidimensional.

I understand the spectrum to be honest, but I think in trying to get the rest of the world to understand ASD, you can't start off too deep. In the article it seems autism is now interchangeable with ASD, so we're losing even a binary terminology.
