I wen to the awares.org site where they are having the online conference and found the discussion area.

Sometimes I get stuck in that too. It can be confusing particularly if your child doesn't quite fit the exact mold of what AS is in some books.
But if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck....
Cait has had diagnosis of PDD, HFA and AS. Mike could likely too as well as ADHD, OCD, etc.
There really isn't that much difference between HFA and aspergers in many cases. It is a matter of oppinion from one doc to another. There is no concrete line between one and another. I hear my kids are classic strike zone down the middle aspies (now) and yet Cait had a significant language delay and still has speech (though she doesn't have a language delay that is apparent anymore. It is more pragmatics, staying on topic, finding the main idea stuff)
