Also, I think a person of any IQ can be diagnosed with autism (high functioning or otherwise). But for someone to be diagnosed with Asperger's, they can't have an intellectual disability and need to have an IQ that's at least in the average range (above 70).
That's the difference between Aspergers and autism in general, but the OP was asking for the distinction between "high functioning autism" and Aspergers (which is already deemed a "high functioning" form of autism).
