  In this video, are we talking about autism and Asperger's so
• 0:03
  that by the end of the video you'll know the difference?
• 0:05
  Coming up? Hey, I'm Dan, I have Asperger's
• 0:10
  syndrome, OCDADHD, and dyslexia. I make weekly videos on this
• 0:15
  topic, so if you're new around here and want to learn more,
• 0:17
  consider subscribing and turn the notification bell on so you
• 0:20
  get notified when I upload a video every.
• 0:23
  Just a really quick disclaimer, I'm not actually saying in this
• 0:26
  video that every single person who has Asperger's syndrome or
• 0:29
  classic autism falls into these specific rules.
• 0:32
  This is literally just like a basic medical, I guess or
• 0:35
  professional outline of the differences to show like some
• 0:37
  clear cut differences between the majority of the people.
• 0:40
  Also, Asperger's is an autism spectrum condition and it was
• 0:44
  taken out of the DSM 5 nomenclature for diagnosing
• 0:48
  people. So now it's just autism spectrum
• 0:51
  disorder and it's becoming autism spectrum condition.
• 0:54
  So Asperger's is autism, and classic autism is autism.
• 0:58
  They're all under the umbrella of the autism spectrum.
• 1:01
  So that is something to be aware of.
• 1:03
  OK, back to the video. So the information that I'm
• 1:05
  sharing in this video I've not seen anybody else talk about on
• 1:08
  videos on YouTube. So let's get stuck in.
• 1:10
  OK, so before we get started, I'd just like to know what
• 1:13
  profession you're from or how you've come to this video.
• 1:16
  You know, are you working in the field or are you so on just
• 1:19
  generally wanting to know the difference.
• 1:20
  Leave me a comment in the comment section below.
• 1:22
  I read every single one and I reply to every single one.
• 1:24
  So Asperger's an autism. What's the difference?
• 1:28
  Let's find out. So the first difference I want
• 1:30
  to discuss and let me just set the tone of the language here.
• 1:33
  I'm going to be talking about classic autism when I talk about
• 1:37
  classic types of autism, and I'll talk about Asperger's
• 1:40
  syndrome when I talk about Asperger's syndrome.
• 1:43
  Now, a lot of people don't like to use classification
• 1:46
  terminology anymore because they find that it's derogative.
• 1:50
  But for the purpose of this video, educationally, we'll talk
• 1:53
  about Asperger's syndrome is like a higher functioning and
• 1:56
  then classic autism is a lower functioning.
• 1:58
  Even though a lot of people don't like to use functioning
• 2:00
  labels. This is just for the purpose of
• 2:02
  this video. OK, so number one is IQ or
• 2:09
  intellect. So basically people with
• 2:12
  Asperger's syndrome usually have an average to above average IQ,
• 2:16
  meaning that they are intellectually quite bright.
• 2:19
  And they tend to focus on like science and maths and history
• 2:24
  and some very deep scientific complex puzzled kind of computer
• 2:29
  natured topics because that's the way that their brain is
• 2:33
  wired and other things that they're interested in, but they
• 2:35
  accept in those areas. Now looking at the comparison
• 2:39
  between that and classic autism, people of classic autism have
• 2:44
  averaged to below average Iqs. So the difference here is that
• 2:48
  people are speaking and will usually or typically display a
• 2:53
  higher IQ average than that of a person with classic autism.
• 2:57
  A person with classic autism won't really be interested in
• 3:00
  the magnitude of intellect a person with Asperger's syndrome
• 3:04
  usually displays. People like Albert Einstein had
• 3:06
  Asperger's syndrome. There are other super famous
• 3:10
  people like Nikola Tesla, probably Elon Musk and other
• 3:14
  people like that who display these traits of Asperger's
• 3:17
  Syndrome and you can see how their IQ would be set higher
• 3:22
  than the average person, hey. If you are interested in having
• 3:24
  one-on-one personal coaching by me.
• 3:27
  On your. Autism and ADHD.
• 3:29
  Then all you need to do is go to the link in the description down
• 3:31
  below. If you're watching on Instagram,
• 3:33
  you can just comment the word coaching and I'll DM it to you
• 3:35
  automatically. Or you can just go to
• 3:37
  theaspyworld.com/coaching. And you can fill out the form.
• 3:42
  And we can start working together.
• 3:44
  I've got lots of requests. I guess I just wanted to put it
• 3:46
  in this video. OK, guys.
• 3:50
  OK, so #2 is verbal communication.
• 3:53
  Now people with classic autism usually have little to no verbal
• 3:57
  communication skills. They can't develop these because
• 4:01
  the type of autism spectrum condition that they have in the
• 4:05
  way their brain has worked is leaving them with difficulty
• 4:08
  learning these skills. Now, a person with Asperger's
• 4:12
  syndrome will have a very good verbal communication skill set
• 4:16
  that they have learned and developed over many years.
• 4:19
  And people with Asperger's syndrome usually have great
• 4:22
  verbal skills and they are very good at talking.
• 4:26
  OK, socially they may not be as advanced as a typical
• 4:30
  neurotypical person, but verbally they can have verbal
• 4:34
  communications and be very good at verbal communication.
• 4:37
  As people with classic autism will have difficulty talking,
• 4:41
  people with asparagus syndrome will have ease of talking and
• 4:44
  actually creating verbal conversation.
• 4:47
  That is the main difference there for #2 Just as some extra
• 4:50
  information, I'll leave a link in the card above.
• 4:52
  So a video I did for Asperger's versus high functioning autism
• 4:56
  and what the difference is there, and I will leave that in
• 4:58
  the card above so you can check that out because that might be
• 5:00
  of some interest to you also. Okay, so #3 is vocabulary.
• 5:09
  Now people with classic autism have little to no vocabulary at
• 5:13
  all and they can't develop those skills and they have a very
• 5:16
  difficult time trying to learn or develop any skills in
• 5:20
  learning vocabulary at all. People with asparagus syndrome
• 5:23
  have a vast, large and quite huge volume of vocabulary that
• 5:28
  is usually somewhat complex and they have some almost not an
• 5:32
  obsession, but an interest in vocabulary and expanding that
• 5:36
  vocabulary. So people with asparagus
• 5:38
  syndrome have a usually really good vocabulary skill set,
• 5:42
  whereas people on the classic autism side wouldn't really tend
• 5:46
  to have that good a vocabulary or a large vocabulary set at
• 5:50
  all. So people with classic autism,
• 5:52
  limited vocabulary, people with Asperger syndrome, quite a high
• 5:57
  volume of vocabulary in their vocabulary skill set.
• 6:03
  OK, so #4 is day-to-day skill set.
• 6:07
  Now day-to-day skill set is very interesting and I'll outline
• 6:11
  what a day-to-day skill set is. Basically the things that a
• 6:14
  neurotypical person does on a daily basis, which is like
• 6:18
  getting up, getting themselves ready for work or whatever, or
• 6:21
  school and then getting themselves to school and going
• 6:24
  off on those tasks. Don't think anything of it, but
• 6:28
  there are various skills that are entwined there in, in, in
• 6:32
  getting up and doing all those things things.
• 6:34
  Now there's things that range from like executive function
• 6:37
  skills to hygiene and then getting dressed and things like
• 6:41
  that, which is basically a daily life skills.
• 6:43
  Now a person with Asperger's syndrome can learn to put on
• 6:48
  their clothes. They can learn to brush their
• 6:51
  own teeth and then they can learn like things like the
• 6:54
  importance of going shopping or the things like the importance
• 6:56
  of getting a job. They may need, you know, help
• 7:00
  with managing that job or managing their finances and
• 7:03
  organising their life. But they can still learn the
• 7:05
  skills that they need to physically prepare themselves
• 7:08
  for something in the real world tasks.
• 7:11
  Now, a person who displays traits of classic autism would
• 7:14
  have a limited skill set in this region and would then rely on
• 7:19
  support and help lifelong for this type of skill set.
• 7:22
  So they may have issues with hygiene and cleanliness.
• 7:25
  They may have issues with trying to, you know, go to the bathroom
• 7:28
  on their own and use a toilet. They may have issues of putting
• 7:31
  on their own clothes. And you know, they have little
• 7:35
  to no concept of the reasoning for going out and doing shopping
• 7:38
  depending on their obviously level on the spectrum.
• 7:41
  But a classic autism type person would need daily, daily support
• 7:45
  and day-to-day help with those tasks because they just don't
• 7:49
  really develop those skills typically in a classic autism
• 7:54
  case. So a person with Asperger's
• 7:56
  syndrome can live somewhat into dependently using their
• 7:59
  day-to-day skills, but a person with classic autism would need
• 8:03
  daily support and lifelong support for just those daily
• 8:06
  tasks alone, let alone emotional and physical support for other
• 8:10
  things. OK, so #5 is speech delay.
• 8:17
  Now as autism is a developmental condition, it does have like a
• 8:23
  gradual time period of how it like develops from one thing to
• 8:26
  another. Now one thing that is
• 8:28
  interesting between the difference of Asperger's
• 8:31
  syndrome and classic autism is a speech delay.
• 8:34
  Now typically children who have Asperger's syndrome will not
• 8:39
  display speech delay in growing up like they they have.
• 8:42
  They'll have typically normal speech delay, like I said, as
• 8:45
  their vocabulary is super intense and very varied.
• 8:50
  Then their speech delay doesn't come into it.
• 8:53
  You know, they'll, they'll gradually get speech they'll
• 8:55
  learn from like TV and movies and mimicking other people
• 8:57
  through echolalia and things like that.
• 8:59
  And then they'll learn how to, to speak at a typical rate.
• 9:03
  Right now people or kids and children with autism of classic
• 9:08
  autism, they will have a speech delay in growing up.
• 9:11
  So growing up, they will have a very speech delayed and their
• 9:15
  speech will be very varied. Like obviously the delay will be
• 9:18
  there, but then also there will be very big gaps in what they
• 9:23
  can say and how they relate that to real world situations.
• 9:26
  So in short, Asperger syndrome typically not really much of A
• 9:30
  speech delay. Classic autism there will be a
• 9:34
  speech delay present most of the time.
• 9:36
