Hello everyone. I just got diagnosed with High Functioning autism with no cognitive and no language impairments. I asked him why he didn't diagnose me as aspergers. He told me that I am aspergers, but the term is no longer used. So now, I'm in the autism spectrum, but I'm high functioning. My psychologist told me that Aspergers isn't a word that's used because it's fallen out of date. What do you think? Is High Functioning Autism the same as Asperger's syndrome? Are High Functioning Autists just as smart as Aspergers? Or is one smarter than the other?
My psychologist told me that I'm very articulate and smart, which is why he classified me as high functioning. What I'm trying to ask is, am I okay if I'm high functioning Autism?
