One Psychatrist Explains the Difference!

A very informative article by Dr. Rachel Bryant about autism and Asperger's Syndrome.  She explains what they are and what sets them as two separate disorders.
The article is called, "Autism and Asperger's: How The Disorders Differ."

The very basic characteristic for Asperger's is the difficulty to socialize with peers.  Every time I read an article about the social skill impairment that Asperger's causes, I get a flashback about my own childhood and how tough it was for me to have relationships with others.  I don't see any of the kids I went to school with today, except for a few people I went to Emerson went.  I sometimes see them at alumni events.
