There really is no difference between Autism and Asperger Syndrome, thus why the two diagnosis have now been merged - many doctors simply diagnosed Asperger Syndrome to avoid stigma of Autism. The only real difference was that Autistic children showed developmental delays, however that in itself does not mean that Asperger Syndrome was a seperate disorder just that different children develop at different rates.

Is autism like locked in syndrome?
No. Autism is not like locked in syndrome. The two are totally different. A number of children with Autism have damage to a particular part of their brain. Since they are children, many of them can be taught to use a different part of their brain for communication. On the other hand, several different commutation problems have been given the catch all diagnosis of Autism. With Locked in Syndrome the problem is not in the brain but with the brain's ability to communicate with that part of the body that communicates with the outside world.
