A member asked:
Is there some sort of link between asperger syndrome and stuttering?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No link at all betwen these two disorders, although individuals with asperger's syndrome also may stutter. Stuttering is often inherited, but the genetics are completely unrelated to autism and related disorders.

Not really: The diagnosis of aspergers dis specifically excludes language problems. The diagnoses are seldom used perfectly as intended, and they are changing this year to broaden the autism disorders to one broader category. Stuttering is not a common language problem in autism spectrum disorders however. Other language issues more typical, but over;lap can surely occur.
