I know there's many types of autism such as Asperger's Syndrome which is also High-Fuctioning Autism.

Actually some experts think that Asperger's is distinct from HFA.
Like an Aspie would be a stereotypical geek. It's related to autism, but it's not autism per se.
It's more like the learning disabilty version of autism. Whereas HFA is more like "mild MR" version. I'm not saying that Aspies are learning disabled or that HFA are mild MR........just saying that those are the functional equiliants of their disabilty.
I hate hate hate how every single "social delay" is automaticly labled as being "Aspie"............People with learning issues often have social issues that go along with their learning issues, that aren't really too Aspie.
