How to distinguish between Asperger's syndrome and autistic
high functioning autistic types mainly (verbal ability with autism and
cognitive good)?
Autism is also problematic in terms of communication and
dissemination as well as a limited interest. Some experts put SA in ASD
(Autistic Spectrum Disorder). Another expert stated that SA is different from
autism or ASD. But nearly all agree that the main difference between autism and
ASD with SA is a subsidiary of the SA showed language development/talk as well
as the intelligence of a normal match her age, even this ability sometimes
exceed age. So SA doesn't come with complaints of late talking but with complaints
of problems at the school due to lack of socialization or considered freaks.

are still egocentric in socializing and discussing things that – it just like his
favorite cartoon characters or toys.But if things were to disrupt the
socializing with her friends, interfere with the learning process as well as

the process of with volcanic eruptions and lava lava floods accompanied and
invites the doctor discuss about Krakatoa who exhibit symptoms of the same.
The subject is not also switched doctors trying to divert
the conversation with questions surrounding his school friend of light. Michael
tells parents that their son knew the letter since the age of 18 months and can

the movie Spongebob with his friends, Michael would rather tell you how the
spacecraft to land on the moon.
Michael was often ridiculed because summoned very polite as
it is in English with a flat intonation in the style of the language as an
adult. Michael also often behind the questions addressed to him mimicking.
In the eyes of the teacher, a very intelligent boy Michael,
"different" with other children, prefer to be alone and busy with
books and sometimes no matter with another person or if spoken to. What
problems occurred at Michael? Autistic? child super genius? ... you ... it's
