    hi ruby!

    Aspergers and Autism come under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders, and have features that are very similar to each other, which is why you are probably confused. the main difference is in language development.
    Children with Aspergers Syndrome have no trouble with language development, unlike children with Autism.

    here is a video clip which helps to explain the differences a bit more! enjoy.
