It is no longer a separate diagnosis today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are high-functioning autism and Asperger\u2019s the same?<\/strong><br>They were often used to describe similar profiles, but neither term fully captures the complexity of autism. Today, both fall under Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why was Asperger\u2019s removed as a diagnosis?<\/strong><br>In 2013, the DSM-5 combined Asperger\u2019s syndrome with other autism diagnoses into ASD to reflect autism as a spectrum rather than separate categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/24291-diagnostic-and-statistical-manual-dsm-5\">https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/24291-diagnostic-and-statistical-manual-dsm-5<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/specialolympicsarizona.org\/what-is-high-functioning-autism\/\">https:\/\/specialolympicsarizona.org\/what-is-high-functioning-autism\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Asperger_syndrome\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Asperger_syndrome<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/brain\/autism\/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome\">https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/brain\/autism\/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/high-functioning-autism\">https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/high-functioning-autism<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/high-functioning-autism\">https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/high-functioning-autism<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3808966\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3808966<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The terms high-functioning autism and Asperger\u2019s Syndrome are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different aspects of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
