Is thought to be a milder form of autism that occurs in relatively high-functioning individuals?
Most people think "Aspergers" when they think of "mild autism", because (very fortunately), those with Aspergers (also called "Aspies"), don't have issues with lowered cognitive abilities. But "high functioning" is the part that always trips people up... They assume if Aspies are "bright" then they "function better". Although, what that really means is whether or not they function well within the environment. Aspies can function well, but sometimes there are HFA individuals (High Functioning Autism) who function better, on a day to day basis, than some Aspies.
