My apologies and downvote retracted; I made the unwarranted assumption that this conversation specifically included Asperger's Syndrome under the Autism umbrella. I may have mixed it up with another thread.
In any case, you're right. Classical autism is not a good thing.
np. There's potentially an interesting discussion in Aspies and status sensitivity; are these people high functioning in the ways full-blown/classical autism is not except for social things like status sensitivity?
There is always some difficulty with executive function and attention control too.
The biggest difference between Asperger's Syndrome/High-Functioning Autism and full-blown Autism is IQ, ultimately.
Compared to neurotypical people, Aspies tend to have various social deficits, difficulty regulating emotion, a tendency to become preoccupied with narrow subjects and, less often, motor or sensory abnormalities. Along with lower IQ, full-blown autistics tend to have all of these symptoms (except possibly narrow-subject-preoccupation), and usually to a greater degree.
Agree and add that some of the serious undeniable deficits also vary by degree. An extremely high IQ aspie can also have crippling sensory integration problems while a lower IQ aspie may also have more mild problems to compensate for, leaving him 'higher functioning'. Even those 'various social deficits' can differ in degree from 'sufficiently below norm' to irredeemably absent.
Agreed. It was not my intent to imply otherwise.
I wonder if using the word 'and' in the grandparent rather than the word 'but' would have better conveyed 'elaboration' rather than 'correction'. I think so. Edited.
