Wings triad: Difficulties with:

People with HFA has difficulties in all three on a significant level, whereas Aspergians only have to meet two of them.
Aspergers is now part of the spectrum along with tourettes and other, and is now called a "spectrum disorder".
Perhaps it makes reseach easier somehow, but ......
The problem with that is that the social interaction and social communication facets are actually the same symptoms worded differently. For example, 'lack of social and emotional reciprocity' (social interaction) is really not distinguishable from 'difficulty carrying on a conversation' (social communication).
