Asperger's is not a form of autism

tinybit

Asperger's is not a form of autism. I really wish you would remove that from your description of asperger's. I hear that all the time and so many people believe that because website's (yours incliuded) posts that for everyone to read and believe. Autism and Asperger's are on the same spectrum and I see how people might be confused by that but do some research because they each stand alone. There is high functioning and low functioning of both autism and asperger's, but I hear all the time "asperger's is a high functioning autism" Incorrect. I know you are trying to inform people, but that in particular bothers me because my husband has asperger's and that misinforms people. Just trying to help you better inform people, please do some research and change that. Thanks

  • Yes Asperger's is in the Autism spectrum, also in that spectrum is Autism. I saw someone ask, if Asperger's is not Autism, then what it is? Well it is Asperger's. It is a disorder on it's own, but it is a disorder that is on the autism spectrum, meaning it is a disorder that affects social interaction, communication. and behavavior and interests. if I made a list called "things that make me feel bad" and on that list was headache and also diarrhea, you would not say that diarrhea was a form of headache. I know that is a bit of a leap, but you get the point I was making.
