Autistic Categories

Experts are phasing out the term Asperger’s Disorder. Traditionally, Asperger’s kids are socially awkward, highly verbal, clumsy, and of normal to high intelligence. However, experts starting putting kids with poor verbal skills, but high intelligence into that category, because the other categories didn’t deal with high intelligence and other unusual talents (such as hyperlexia and spacial or mathematical abilities). It’s very difficult to make categories of types of autism. Each kid is entirely different.
