DSM IV将Alfreger综合征（AS）定义为一种广泛性发育（自闭症谱系）障碍，其特征是在没有语言障碍和认知延迟的情况下存在社交缺陷和僵化的兴趣集中。自从它被纳入DSM-IV以来，它在儿童和成人中的认可度急剧增加。然而，由于研究通常未能证明AS和自闭症之间的明确区别，一些研究人员呼吁将其从即将到来的DSM V中删除。本报告主张修改其诊断标准并继续保留在诊断手册中。
The DSM IV defines Asperger syndrome (AS) as a pervasive developmental (autistic spectrum) disorder characterized by social deficits and rigid focused interests in the absence of language impairment and cognitive delay. Since its inclusion in the DSM-IV, there has been a dramatic increase in its recognition both in children and adults. However, because studies have generally failed to demonstrate a clear distinction between AS and autism, some researchers have called for its elimination from the forthcoming DSM V. This report argues for a modification of its diagnostic criteria and its continued retention in the diagnostic manual.
