An educational video about high functioning autism and aspergers syndrome featuring child pyschologist Allison Kawa. Allison explains that when a child reaches 8 to 9 years of age it becomes very difficult to point out substantial differences between the labels of high functioning autism and aspergers syndrome. She goes on to say that a part of autism that differs from aspergers syndrome is the language component. Most children diagnosed with autism have trouble with certain speech or language skills. However, with high fucntioning autism those language barriers are typically worked out through therapy or other means by the time the child is 8 or 9 leaving very little of any definition difference between high functioning autism and aspergers syndrome.
