Hello everyone. My name is Alex and I joined this website so I could make friends on the internet with my disability. I'm 11 years old with Asperger's and Autism at the same time (is this common?). Anybody at least somewhat around my age is welcome to be friend! 8)

I don't know! I was born with autism and we found out later I had AS also.

HF autism and aspergers syndrome lies almost on the same plane of the spectrum

but people with autism talk much later than those with aspergers...

(if im not mistaken that's the main difference :? )

help me think it clearly...

anyone wants to help?

From what I've read, even the experts can't agree on whether Asperger's is a high-functioning form of autism or whether AS is its own separate thing. :shrug:

Welcome to WP, whatever you are! :lol:
