TL;DR
Clinicians appear to be diagnosing AsD and AD on the basis of published research and case study accounts, and the findings question whether DSM-IV and ICD-10 criteria adequately describe the AsD individual, particularly in the communication domain.

326 Citations1994Susan Davies, Dorothy Bishop +2 more
Group averages are seen as indicating a general perceptual deficit that is not specific to faces or emotions, which appears to be a common correlate of autism and Asperger's syndrome, rather than a core symptom.

There were no substantive, qualitative differences between the AS and autistic groups, indicating that AS should be considered a mild form of high‐functioning autism, and the inclusion of AS among the autistic spectrum of disorders has implications for aetiological studies and for prevalence estimates of the pervasive developmental disorders.

290 Citations1989Christopher Gillberg
Twenty‐three Swedish children aged five to 18 years who fulfilled specific criteria for Asperger syndrome were examined and compared with an age‐ and IQ‐matched group with infantile autism, finding very little in the clinical or neurobiological backgrounds to suggest a clear distinction.

Subtypes of children with PDD can be identified that differ on variables relatively independent of defining characteristics, and these findings should provide a firm foundation into research to determine whether children with autism and Asperger's syndrome also differ on outcome, etiology, and response to treatment.

The sex ratio, family history, and presence of neurologic disease in some Asperger's Syndrome cases, suggest that the etiology of the disorder is similar to that in autism.

A year before Asperger's first on ‘autistic psychopathy’ appeared, Kanner (1943) published his famous first account of eleven children with a pattern of abnormal behaviour that he decided to call ‘early infantile autism’.

86 Citations1992Mohammad Ghaziuddin, Luke Y. Tsai +1 more
The ICD-10 has included Asperger syndrome as a distinct category within the pervasive developmental disorders, because it does not "fulfill the usual criteria for autism and because it remains uncertain whether or not the syndrome is truly synonymous with autism".

Two instruments for identifying autism in children and adolescents with intellectual abilities in the normal range were compared and the ADI had somewhat greater specificity in that 3 children did not meet criteria for diagnosis although 2 of these children received ABC scores based on parental recollection that were in the borderline range.
