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!

    Autism is part of the Autistic Spectrum.  There are currently 3 main types as far as I am aware, Classic autism, High Functioning Autism and ASperger's Syndrome. 

    What is the difference between High Functioning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome?
