Is Aspergers Still Relevant?

Although Aspergers is no longer a modern-day diagnosis and insights into the vast autistic spectrum are forever growing, is the diagnosis still relevant?

Much of what we know about autism came from the community and although the diagnoses and labels are disappearing, the criteria that came with them still have the potential for learning.

In this video, I will be describing 5 Intriguing differences between "Aspergers" and "Classic Autism" to demonstrate how they can offer important insights into recognising autistic traits and understanding the different levels of support that may be required.

1. IQ Score.

People with Aspergers tend to have average to above average IQs, compared to that a person with ‘classic autism’ who would typically have a below-average IQ.

2. Verbal Communication.

People with Autism tend to have little to no verbal communication skills and have difficulty talking. Children with Asperger’s syndrome tend to have a very good verbal skill set and can communicate verbally.

3. Vocabulary.

People with Aspergers syndrome have a large vocabulary and have a strong use of words, compared to that a person with ‘classic autism’ who typically has very limited vocabulary.

4. Day To Day Life Skills.

A person with Asperger’s syndrome can learn day-to-day skills, like how to put on clothes and the importance of eating food. Learning how to go shopping for goods etc. Compared to a person who displays ‘classic autism’ typically they cannot learn these day-to-day life skills as easy and require additional lifelong support for these skills.

5. Speech Delay.

Typically a person growing up with Aspergers Syndrome will not display any speech delay in early life. However, a person with ‘classic autism’ will display a large delay in learning speech.
