My Son has an official diagnosis of ASC, is this the same as Autism?
ASC, 'autism spectrum condition' is the current term covering all autism-related conditions. This term covers what would have once been called Asperger's syndrome, 'classic' autism and pervasive developmental disorder. The old diagnostic terminology was superseded in 2013 by the catch-all term ASC or ASD (autism spectrum disorder)
Oh well that' me done for then! I just refered to myself and others as ASD, I wasn't aware that ASD had been superceded by ASC, although I approve of the change, as I don't see ASC as a disorder.
