the akc has classified the breed as an American staffordshire terrier while the ukc has classified the breed as an American pit bull terrier so yes, they are both the same dog but American Staffordshire Terriers have been selectively bred for the last 65 years or so to posess certain physical characteristics. The Pitbull was bred for performance rather than looks so there are a wide variety of body types and temperments.

Is it normal that your 8 month old American pitbull female is 65 lbs?
Not really. If you got a dog from the newspaper or someone down the street's litter of pit bulls, she may very well be mix-bred. Anyhow, at 8months old, your dog is not finished growing. She will fill out, adding another 5 to 15pounds onto her current weight. She could be a APBT/AmStaff cross, or an AmStaff, although she still may be a APBT; just she's kind of heavy for the breed; probably because her parents/ancestors were bred larger. Most APBT SHOULD be 45-65lbs at 2yrs of age. Just as long as she's agile and fit, she might still be an APBT, and still be great pet or working dog.

Your question is similar to asking what the difference is between a Rottie and a Rottweiler No, stafordshire and bull terrier are different from a pitbull, they are all cousin, and come from the mastuffs, however, They are different breeds, stafforshires are from American, we copied England of The Stafforshre BULL terrier (Which that plus pit makes a bully) And Bull terriers are also from England, te English bull terrier, they are what you have seen on Next Friday (Chico) the movie, But they have the egg shaped head, they are cute but Ugly at the same time. search the breeds up in Google images. and actually people use the term pitbull to describe a few breeds of dogs all sharing similar caristeristics (sp ?) ie; American pitbull terrier, American stafordshire terrier, stafordshire bull terrier. sometimes even cane corsos. so a pitbull could be a number of dogs but a pitbull terrier is probably reffering to an American pitbull terrier. its sometimes hard to tell any of the breeds apart. look up on youtube : the real pitbull terrier and that will tell you the difference between the American bully and the American Pitb ull terrier
