[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Aspergers was taken out of the latest DSM as a stand-alone diagnosis, but they probably meant the phenotype: [/quote] OP again. So the two types are "active, but odd" and "passive and aloof"? Which one would be considered Type 2? (My sense of Asperger's up until now was that it was characterized by lack of social interaction, low eye contact, trouble picking up on social cues, etc.)[/quote] Well that's autism in general. The article is describing the phenotype which is "measured" by a questionnaire (BAPQ): http://musingsofanaspie.com/2013/01/15/the-broad-autism-phenotype-questionnaire/ Aspergers and autism are lumped together in the current DSM: http://www.autismspeaks.org/dsm-5/faq#criteria You'd have to ask your neighbor what type II is.[/quote]
