It is now recognised that autism occurs in a variety of forms, e.g. High-Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome (sometimes called Asperger’s Disorder). Autism and related conditions can now be grouped under the term Autistic Spectrum Disorder (A.S.D.) They are relatively common, with Asperger’s Syndrome occurring in one in every 300 persons.

This website seeks to give basic information on Autistic Spectrum Disorder, with an emphasis on the higher-functioning types of Asperger’s Syndrome and High-Functioning Autism. Checklists are included. To assist interested persons, I have also written a book on Asperger’s Syndrome, (see book page).
