Key points

• Asperger’s disorder is no longer diagnosed. The term autism spectrum disorder (ASD) now includes children who were previously described as having Asperger’s.

• Children previously diagnosed with Asperger’s disorder have an IQ in the normal range and good language skills.

• These children have poor social communication skills, special interests, and repetitive behaviour.

We need language skills to communicate. And you need to communicate to learn. Reading, writing, gesturing, listening, and speaking are all forms of language. The better your communication skills, the better you will do in understanding and learning new things.

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling.

Intelligence is not affected, instead it is a "specific learning difficulty".

As the autism community knows well, many individuals with autism have difficulty processing and integrating sensory information. These sensitivities can create great barriers to participating in daily life for those with autism and their families.
