There are a few reasons for it.

First, it got merged into the autism spectrum, so it's often understood to be one of the ways that autism can manifest itself rather than something that needs to be defined separately. Asperger's is no longer diagnosed, but autism certainly is.

Second, there has been criticism of the "high functioning" and "low functioning" labels of autism, and Asperger's is generally tied to the idea of "high functioning autism." These different categories are not used in diagnosis, and it goes against the idea of autism being a spectrum with a variety of different manifestations without clear divisions between them. Furthermore, advocates say that the "high functioning" and "Asperger's" label is used to deny people's resources for autism, while the "low functioning" label is used to deny people's agency.

Third, Asperger himself was a Nazi doctor who collaborated with the eugenics-based "child euthanasia program" at the time, and his research into what would later be called "Asperger's syndrome" is inextricably tied to this. There's some controversy about the degree of his personal involvement, but it's still not the kind of thing most people want to have something named after.

It's a complicated matter, and I wouldn't tell somebody that they aren't allowed to say they have Asperger's, but I think it's good to be aware of these things. I encourage folks to do more research into this if they're interested or have a stake in this, like I do.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
