[Distance learning autism course?]

Hello,

 

Im looking for a distance learning course on autism, was wondering wether there are any good ones out there.

I know the Open University do a module (http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/modules/sk124)

 

[Lorna Wing]

I've just finished reading Lorna Wings 'The Autistic Spectrum'. Its a book if a bit dated.

[Which professionals actually diagnose]

Hello,

 

Which professional (EP, psychologist etc) can actually diagnose autism?

[Whats the difference between HFA and aspergers?]

Traditionally the distinction comes down to whether there was a delay in learning to speak: yes for HFA, no for Asperger's.

You see I would have guessed no for HFA aswell. I thought the two things were the same thing. and speaking delay in low to moderate functioning autism (?).
