Isn't Aspergers just a form of Autism? Well, anyway, AS stands for Aspergers and NT means neurotypical (their brain is normal)

I have PDD-NOS, but I am closely to "Asperger's" than "Autism", so I voted "Asperger's".

AS, but this isn't the best subforum to get accurate results from.

Asperger's. My actual official diagnosis is ASD (autistic spectrum disorder) but I've been told by the same person that it's Asperger's. However I don't think I quite fit all of the criteria so it was just ASD which is a pretty wide spectrum.

Definitely closer to Asperger's than autism though, and CAMHS call it Asperger's.
