What is the difference between asperger's syndrome and PDD-NOS?

Aspengers is a disorder were people have a higher form of Autism and PDD-NOS and I have no idea.What is the difference between asperger's syndrome and PDD-NOS?
PDD = Pervasive Developmental Disorders



Aspererger's syndrome is a PDD.



PDD-NOS = Pervasive Developmental Disorders Not Otherwise Specified. This diagnosis means that the child exhibits symptoms of PDD but not clear enough to say whether it is Autism, or Asperergers, etc. It's a catch-all term to get those kids that are PDD but don't fit the other categories.
