Hi! My 5 yr old received his diagnosis as a High Functioning Autistic last week. Based on the information I've read during the last few months, I believed him to be more of an Asperger's child. While that is also considered a form of High Functioning Autism, what is the main difference? What qualities would exclude him from being an Asperger's child and be diagnosed as a High Functioning Autistic instead? Any help or input is much appreciated!
