whats the difference between asperger and autism?

My LB is under assesment at the moment. First they mentioned ADHD then said he had aspergers traits now they seem to be swaying more to autism.

Can anyone explain to me whats the difference between aspergers and autism? Everything I found on google was very vague.

thanks

    ... in fact, of more importance in answering the question "what is the difference between Autism and Asperger's?" than what the criteria actually says.

    Try telling OP that, she just asked a question she was entitled to ask and just wanted a simple answer.  What else are threads asking questions meant for!  Maybe you could start a thread asking the question you feel more important?
