difference between diagnosis of asd and autism

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between a diagnosis of asd and just autism? Is autism a more specific diagnosis on the autistic spectrum? My son has been diagnosed with asd and am confused by all the different ways in which he has been described.

Thanks!

Hi mumtime
I have posted below a link to a video on youtube which might help you when thinking about the differences between asd and autism. It is video from Lorna Wing who is mentioned above. It is well worth watching. Hope it helps.
