If he'd been born two decades later, though, it is quite likely he'd have wound up diagnosed with the Asperger's label he so fiercely detests, and he would probably be ranting about the autistics trying to steal his aspie thunder.

	~~Because~~ high-functioning autism ~~and Asperger's are considered by laymen and professionals alike to be identical~~, and ~~because~~ the ~~slang~~ term ~~"Aspie"~~ (~~short for "Asperger's", obviously~~) ~~is often used to describe anyone with a disorder along the~~ autism spectrum~~, newcomers to the Chris~~-~~chan phenomenon sometimes assume that he has and~~/~~or claims to have Asperger's~~. ~~A few even jump to the conclusion that~~, ~~like many who claim to have Asperger's on the Internet, Chris is self-diagnosed~~. ~~However, Chris is easily offended by the suggestion that Asperger syndrome is even remotely similar to autism~~.

	==~~Real differences between Asperger's and autism==~~

	{{quotebox\|There has been research comparing the cognitive profile of adolescents with autism and Asperger's syndrome. The studies have examined the cognitive profile of what may becalled 'High Functioning Autism', that is children with a diagnosis of autism with an Intelligence Quotient in the normal range, i.e. above 70. The term High Functioning Autism has been used in the past to describe children who had the classic signs of autism in early childhood but as they developed, formal testing of their cognitive skills indicated a greater degree of intellectual ability with greater social and adaptive behavior skills than are usual with children with autism. Their clinical outcome was better than expected. The cognitive abilities of this group of children were then compared to the cognitive profile of children with Asperger's syndrome, who did not have a history of early cognitive or language delay. The results of the research has not established a distinct and consistent profile for each group. It was found that only a minority of each diagnostic group showed a characteristic profile.		Chris happens to have made "high-functioning autism" a cornerstone of his identity because that's the diagnosis he received as a child in the late 1980s. If he'd been born two decades later, though, it is quite likely he'd have wound up diagnosed with the Asperger's label he so fiercely detests, and he would probably be ranting about the autistics trying to steal his aspie thunder.

	Clinical experience and research has confirmed that in terms of the child's behavioral profile, children and adults with High Functioning Autism and Asperger's syndrome have a very similar presentation. Both groups benefit from the same behavioral treatment programs. The recommendations from clinicians and academics for treatment for both High Functioning Autism and Asperger's syndrome are the same. Clinicians have noted that as the clinical picture of Pervasive Developmental Disorders or Autistic Spectrum Disorders changes over time, a child may receive a diagnosis of severe autism or High Functioning Autism at one point in their developmental history and Asperger's syndrome at a later stage.

	~~In short, the research and clinical experience would suggest that there is '''no clear evidence that they are different disorders'''. Their similarities are greater than their differences.}}~~

	Perhaps the leading irony of Chris's crusade against Asperger's is that he probably has Asperger's himself. The only real difference between a diagnosis of "high-functioning autism" and "Asperger's" is the time at which the diagnosis was made. Asperger syndrome was first added to the [[Wikipedia:American Psychiatric Association\|American Psychiatric Association]]'s ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual'' in [[1994]], and it wasn't until the 2000s that it gained substantial recognition among professionals. Chris happens to have made "high-functioning autism" a cornerstone of his identity because that's the diagnosis he received as a child in the late 1980s. If he'd been born two decades later, though, it is quite likely he'd have wound up diagnosed with the Asperger's label he so fiercely detests~~. In which case~~, ~~that article~~ he ~~wrote~~ would probably be ranting about the autistics trying to steal his ~~Aspie~~ thunder.

	In early [[2010]], the American Psychological Association suggested no longer referring to Asperger's syndrome under [[wikipedia:DSM-5\|the DSM-5]], which was published [[2013]]: Asperger's syndrome is now considered just one of several autism spectrum disorders.<ref>[http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jdKqvb7DZsuRpnh8NnrTnV2DJIlgD9DP3S0O1 Changes proposed in how psychiatrists diagnose.]</ref> The World Health Organisation's entry for Asperger's syndrome now redirects to ''Autism spectrum disorder without [[slow-in-the-minds\|disorder]] of [[honor roll\|intellectual development]] and with [[speech impediment\|mild or no impairment]] of functional [[Chris and English\|language]]''.<ref>[http://id.who.int/icd/entity/120443468 ICD-11 for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (Version: 04/2019)]</ref> Other sources concur in listing high-functioning autism as a synonym for Asperger's.<ref>Betsy J. Shiland, [https://books.google.ca/books?id=UjKPBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA518 Medical Terminology & Anatomy for ICD-10], page 518. 2014.</ref> By any modern standard, Chris ''is'' an Asperger's child, though whether he will ever admit this is doubtful.
