What is the difference between high functioning autism and aspergers?

Aspergers: There is really no such thing as high functioning autism. Watch these two videos to get a better understanding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg1ngp1ngds http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=f5sfe6dqhro.

In truth, HFA has: never been a separate diagnostic category. The DSM-V diagnosis Autistic Spectrum Disorder includes autism, Asperger syndrome & pdd-nos. Because core deficits - lack of theory of mind, facial recognition, & joint attention- impair social reciprocity & social communication in all who have ASD, the degree of impairment determines appropriate behavioral, social & educational interventions.

AUTISM: Aspergers is no longer a diagnostic category. We only have Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Not much: "autistic disorder"will include as, pdd-nos & autism. Kids with as may sound like " little professors, "talk about favorite topics without conversational give-and-take( pragmatics) and without typical use of tempo, pitch & loudness (prosody). Kids with hfa struggle with language, but may quickly figure out how to make something work by seeing & handling it. Both have "normal" full-scale iq, >70.
