Example: I hear that I’m ‘High-Functioning’ according to my parents but I’ve been diagnosed as ‘Autistic disorder’ by my doctor and I’ve previously thought that I had ‘Asperger syndrome’ to name a few terms.

    I was diagnosed originally at 3yo with Asperger’s. As mentioned by folkrav this diagnosis is outdated, ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ isn’t a thing anymore. To the best of my knowledge it’s currently all Autism Spectrum Disorder with numbered levels associated with each diagnosis ranging from 1 to 3.

    The old Asperger’s diagnosis is, AFAIK, translatable to Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1.
