    Hi Jules welcome to the forum,

    Autism often runs in families so it is fairly common for siblings (and parents) to have autistic traits in different degrees. The distinction between Aspergers and autism is being abolished so that people who are diagnosed now are not likely to get a diagnosis of Aspergers. Did your eldest get diagnosed under the previous rules or is there a marked difference between them?
