Why it is important to understand the real difference between autism and Asperger Syndrome. ? How you can tell if a child has AS or ADD and why the distinction will become more important as the child grows through his teen years. ? What a child with AS who also has a nonverbal learning disability looks like compared to a child with AS without an NLD!
