I know people hate to hear this, especially with the new DSM, but aspies DIFFER from auties. There has been TONS of research hinting at those being 2 different things. I'm glad I wasn't treated like an autie growing up. Because I'm not one. It would have harmed me.

No one should be treated a certain way simply based a diagnosis. Those with asperger's and autism should be treated like individuals based on their individual needs. If a need for interventions exists then they should receive services, no matter what their particular label might be and obviously, on the flip side, not get services if none are needed. It really is not as simple as just what you are diagnosed with.
