MODERATORS
From a diagnosis and classification, Autism = Asperger's.
From a lived experience, Autism != Asperger's.
The latter has been validated by every expert I have talked over the years from doctors to therapists to education.
Ok. Interesting. I'll take your word at it.
Please don't but pay attention to your support group as you move forward. You will learn there are a lot of people that genuinely care about your child and their future. The irony of course is the vast majority of these people make little to no money and are doing what they do because they love it.
