Asperger's syndrome

According to information about Ulillillia, people speculate that he has either autism or Asperger's Syndrome. However, some think he has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) instead. Still others believe he has both OCD and an autism spectrum disorder.

Absolutely. Asperger's Syndrome had not been identified as a condition then, so children with it were diagnosed with other conditions including autism or obsessive-compulsive disorder or were described as odd, troublemakers, or whatever characteristics were most dominant.

From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.

Asperger's Syndrome is a subtype of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), therefore they are not separate conditions. In the DSM-5, Asperger's Syndrome is no longer a diagnosis, it has been folded into the broader category of ASD.
