I don´t know about severe autism but there are students at my university who are very very intelligent who have autism. I think the main hurdle in autism is the problem with social interaction which can hinder learning.

Is there any record of someone with autism giving birth to a child with autism?

Yes, there are known situations of persons with autism having children with autism. There is a genetic component to autism. Some people with autism get married and have children. Some of those children have autism, but some do not. Autism varies in its severity, so other people might not recognize that a person has autism.

What is the core difference between autism and aspergers syndrome?

Asperger is different from autism because people with Aspergers are less restricted with behavioral interactions than those with autism. Asperger's is a form of autism, but it is high-functioning and Aspergers is not as severe as actual autism is (Take it from me: I have aspergers and my younger brother has autism)


Is Asperger's syndrome more adverse than autism?

no.A:Some people describe Asperger's Syndrome as a mild form of autism. This is inaccurate. Asperger's Syndrome and autism can be equally severe or equally mild. There is a range from mild to severe of each.It is labeled as autism if the child has mental retardation, whereas Asperger's Syndrome is associated with average or above average intelligence. But, when people recognize that a person is retarded, they have different expectations, so certain situations can be more difficult for a person with Asperger's Syndrome because other people expect more, not understanding their difficulties.The diagnostic criteria of both are very similar. It might be labeled as autism if the child has difficulties that are recognized at a young age, but in later years, it could be rediagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome.Asperger's Syndrome is sometimes called high-functioning autism, which means they are apparently better able to function in society. However, some people who have Asperger's Syndrome cannot function in society. Similarly, some people with autism can function in society. Because people with Asperger's Syndrome tend to have higher intelligence, they can find ways to compensate for some of their difficulties, but that can result in more stress than a person with autism (or Asperger's Syndrome) who avoids the situations causing those difficulties entirely.Some people who have worked with children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome have speculated that they are differences. One possible difference is that children with autism have better motor control, and thus are better at sports and physical activities, whereas children with Asperger's Syndrome have poor motor control (clumsiness). Another possible difference is that children with autism do not care whether they have friends, but children with Asperger's Syndrome want friends but are unable to develop friendships, so they feel more depressed about that.In summary, there are differences, but they are probably equally adverse. You could find some people with autism who have cases that are more adverse than some people with Asperger's Syndrome, but you could also find some people with Asperger's Syndrome who have cases that are more adverse than some people with autism.
