....It would help if you at least tried to use proper grammar and spelling. First, HFA Autism is redundant like HIV virus and ATM machine, the final word is included in the acronym. Second, capitalize your I's. Third, double check your spelling. The spelling of some of the words there is causing agony for me.
Anyway, I think the difference is that HFA is a bit more broad, and there are certain requirements for Aspergers that aren't requirements for Autism. HFA is just Autism were the autisic person is considered functional.

Grrrrrr.
Good greif lay off the "grammar police" routine. Please. How do you know whether the English is a second language for the OP? Not to mention many with Autism are not the greatest at spelling and grammar. Picking on that is just plain judgmental.
Second, your assessment of HFA is pretty much correct, but it should be added that pretty soon (2013) the DSM won't differentiate between HFA, PDD-NOS, AS and all forms of Autism. If the proposed changes are approved, it will all be "Autism Spectrum Disorder" with grades of severity.

Btw lecks, off topic i know, but where did you get your screenname from? Does it mean something in Belgium at all? The only reason i ask, ive encountered someone else from Belgium (within wow) that also went by the same screen name. Any belgiumy specific reason for both of you to have the same name?

I wanted to name my first WoW character Lex but it was taken, so I chose Lecks instead. It has no meaning here, but I've been told it means 'leaks' in German.
Which server was this person on and which class/race? It might've been me.

Not only am I an Aspie, but I am a huge Grammar Nazi as well. I have to restrain myself when I peer edit other people's assignments. (One guy didn't know how to spell athlete, and I kinda got on him for that.

Ugh! There I go again!

Sporeggar rpvp realm. Don't think it was you though, i think ive seen something you posted in the gaming forums mentioning the realm you were on.
just seemed strange to meet someone with the same name and coming from the same country, i havent encountered a hell of a lot of people from Belgium in the first place.

Hmm, I don't think I've played on Sporeggar. Yeah, that seems strange to me too. I guess Belgians aren't a very original people.
What was the class/race though, now I'm curious.

He might be in high school but that doesn't say much of anything people can learn fast or slow.
It took me a very long time to spell how I am today. Bad spelling is in my family. I understand I may not look like I am trying because of my spelling having no capital letters or none of the little marks (
I didn't know how to spell with capital letters I do know how to spell with capital letters today what I normally do not use them when I am online. I become laid-back.
But there are times when I am trying to spell I know I do not know how to put ; , < the symbols on the letters.
But to spell words I tried as hard as I possibly can. And if people get frustrated I sometimes use my Dragon program so people don't start freaking out over spelling and grammar I find it a simple way to make peace sometimes.
My point is some people may be trying very hard on days.
And other days you might just want to relax. I am both of them days.
And I'm sure others are to

not everyone knows how to socialize properly.
And I understand why you are so upset over the rude words even if the person doesn't realize.
I'm going to be honest with you I have been in such a bad mood over the déjà vu freaking me out that I really don't care.
I'd rather keep the peace with everyone I understand both sides :/

I'm 67, and long finished with High School, and with some college under my belt, including college Psychology, and a whole lot of Life Experience behind me, and _I_ still don't always know how to socialize properly. I'm learning, though, even though slow or "delayed". When I was in school it was not realized that some people need "Social Skills Training", and I've had to figure it out for myself, with a lot of Blind Spots. I never knew until I was diagnosed a couple of years ago, from one of the tests, just how _much_ I was missing in facial expressions, forget Body Language, which I have studied in "book l'arnin'" a little bit. Being on the internet helps, since there are no facial expressions to interpret/misinterpret here, and emoticons are very simplified and easy to interpret.
