Is PDD-NOS milder then Asperger's Syndrome?

I have ADHD and was just diagnosed with PDD-NOS a few days ago. I was wondering what the difference between AS and PDD-NOS is and if PDD-NOS is a milder form of ASIs PDD-NOS milder then Asperger's Syndrome?
Persuasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) is a vague description of something that resembles characteristics of the disabilities associated with autism spectrum disorder. Aspergers is typically high functioning autism with more social skills difficulties and often has issues with ADD or ADHD. PDD-NOS is not necessarily milder, but can have different characteristics. The entire autism spectrum scale varies and one can function higher than others depending on the comorbidity of symptoms. They are considered on the higher end....Is PDD-NOS milder then Asperger's Syndrome?
It's not less or more it's just somewhat similar.



It helps if you think of it this way:



Neurobiological



Under that are all of these and a lot more - they all involve some function or dysfunction of the brains Neurological system and can sometimes tangle up.



ADD,ADHD,PDD-NOS, Autism, Aspergers, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, Rhetts, Touretts, Depression Bi-polar etc etc etc



For PDD - I typically think of something that may reference a couple of different things that are not totally ASD but are similar in presentation.Is PDD-NOS milder then Asperger's Syndrome?
if anything it is worse



aspergers generally only involves social/realting to teh world



PDD has more symptoms in other areas--but you could be 'high functioning' and barely different from what would be considered AS
ASPERGER PPL DONT HAVE THE SPEACH DELAYS THAT KIDS W PDD HAVE ... SO YA I WOULD SAY IT IS MILDER
