• Can someone have more than one type of autism?

My son was diagnosed with a moderate form of autism, but now I think he has more than one type, like Asperger's, since he's very high-functioning with certain things. Is this possible?

“Asperger’s Disorder” is an outdated name for what we call nowadays high functioning Autism/Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
A person with this disorder is exemplified in the “Napoleon Dynamite” motion picture.
