related disorders to autism

A quick history lesson.  Autism has been around for a long time, but the percentage of those effected has gone up significantly.  For a while there was a push to "plug" those being diagnosed into specific disorders within the Autism Spectrum, hence autism spectrum disorders.  The push now seems to be back to the word "autism."
