I got my diagnosis shortly after the DSM-5 release but my psychologist also gave me the DSM-IV Asperger's diagnosis at my request. I tell people I'm an Aspie, and that it is considered to be on the autism spectrum. I prefer the Aspie label because it is more specific. My interpretation was that the DSM-5 grouped it under autism spectrum distorders. I've never met a psychologist or psychiatrist that considered the autism spectrum to be a single condition.
