Show Notes

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a question I get asked all the time“Is Asperger’s the same as autism?” As someone diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, I’m breaking down the differences (and similarities) between autism and Asperger’s, and how the understanding of these conditions has evolved over time.

I’ve previously explored Asperger’s symptoms and the history of Hans Asperger, but this episode gives you a fresh, updated take on where things stand today — especially in light of recent changes in diagnostic criteria.

If you or someone you love has ever wondered where Asperger’s fits within the autism spectrum, this episode is a must-listen.

  • Is Asperger’s still a diagnosis today?

  • Why Asperger’s is considered part of the autism spectrum

  • The historical context of Hans Asperger

  • Key differences between autism and Asperger’s (if any)

  • How diagnostic labels affect understanding and support

👉 Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode with anyone who’s exploring autism, late diagnosis, or neurodivergent identity.
