Is Asperger Syndrome medically just the same as Autism?




Well I have Asperger Syndrome and have researched lots of stuff about it and Autism. I have a theory that they are the same thing but people with Asperger’s are just different because we have developed different socialy. I mean that we chose only to like certain things and so on, probably due to a lack of friends. I’m most likely not true but not sure…

Can somebody tell me what the difference’s between asperger syndrome and high functioning autism?




I though it was the same thing.

what’s the difference between high functioning autism and asperger’s syndrome?

Can a child have autism and still be social?

I have been reading up on autism and Asperger’s Syndrome a lot lately because we have some concerns about our four year old son. He fits the characteristics of Asperger’s Syndrome except for one thing, children with Asperger’s are typically known to be very anti-social. Our son is the most social child we have ever seen. In fact we get comments all the time on how out-going and social he is.

So my question is, can a child have an autism spectrum disorder and still be social?
