The clinical presentation is also relatively similar, but the main difference is that autistic speech development is often delayed or even non-developing, and most patients are less intelligent. Children with Asperger’s syndrome have better retention of language and cognitive skills and can approach normal. Only a very small number of children have poorer intelligence and social deficits. It has been suggested that the syndrome is a “mild form of autism”[5]. The term Asperger’s syndrome has been removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition) in the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
