In DSM5-speak, I use ASD and its severity level, 1-3. I consider Aspergers to be a colloquial term for ASD-1.
Under DSM-4, they were, generally, Aspergers, High-Functioning [Kanner's] & Low-Functioning [Kanner's]. (There were other, more specific diagnoses, too.)
Between DSM-4 & 5, they were High-Functioning, Mid-Functioning & Low-Functioning Autism.
