Answer 1

It's a spectrum of disorders. Every individual is on a slightly different place on the autism spectrum. There are many symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorders and every individual on the spectrum has some of them, but not all. The symptoms and severity vary between individuals.

Generally the autism spectrum is considered to include these three disorders:

- classical autism (also known as autistic disorder)

- Asperger's syndrome

- PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified).

Asperger's syndrome generally considered the mildest form of autism and individuals with Asperger's syndrome are usually highly functional and have less severe symptoms than individuals with classic autism.
