Hi,

Does anyone know what the distinction between sensory integration dysfunction, or now called sensory processing disorder, and Asperger's is.

Are they two separate things and what makes someone one, but not the other?

They seem closely related. Except maybe Asperger's has the special interests?

Also with AS you have the whole slew of social issues.

I thought SID was a symptom of AS.

yes... i think that's what she said... SID is umbrella-ed in AS... though i assume you can have just SID.
