How does Asperger’s relate to autism?

Understand the older term and respect personal language.

Asperger syndrome is an older diagnostic term, now included within autism in major diagnostic systems. Some people still use the name for themselves.

Asperger Home welcomes autistic people with different support needs, people exploring their experiences, and their families and friends.
