Basically, the two large sub-categories of autism are (1) when speech is impaired; and (2) when speech is not impaired.
Asperger's is the old name for the unimpaired-speech version. Note that, generally speaking, impairment of speech is associated with delays in general mental development.
I think you have (1) and (2) reversed. Also, verbal communication is impaired on all three levels.
