Sometimes I think I am HFA but I think it's PDD-NOS I have.

If you have an IQ above a certain point you're pretty much automatically up from HFA to AS, I think.

I always thought the difference had more to do with early verbal development, which doesn't always correlate with IQ.   Wonder if there's a definitive answer?  I'll have to go poking around and see what I can find out, it's an interesting question!

I keep reading that Einstein had AS but he didn't have it because he had a speech delay so it's gotta be HFA. I even hear that Temple is AS now but she isn't. She had a speech delay too but started talking when she was three and a half. I'd say hers is mild or very. I get so sick of tired of people ignoring the criterias. Of how many people who are diagnosed with AS, how many of them are truely? That's what I always wonder.

Our psychologist gave me a similar explanation, but also reminded me that HFA is generally a layman's or conversational term and not a diagnosis. Maybe one of our resident students in the field can clear it up for us.

If you've read her books, she was quite low functioning and non-verbal as a child, but she is brilliant, still.

Temple started talking at 3 1/2 and I read somewhere on the internet she didn't start doing pretend play till she was 8.
