difference between diagnosis of asd and autism

mumtime

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!

  • Hello, haven't been on here for a while!

    Just to say thankyou for the suggestions on Lorna Wing. She is amazing! I have read loads on autism but still found it a bit confusing and difficult to understand. Watching the video I could really relate it to my son. I found myself nodding along in agreement to what she was saying! I am now gonna go and find her books and will be asking my family to watch the video as well!

    Thanks again!
