From what I've been able to tell, Asperger's and autism aren't that different at all. The main diagnostic difference is whether someone develops language at the usual age, and apparently that's not necessarily all that indicative of how well they'll do when older.

People generally write about Asperger's and autism as points on a spectrum; towards the autism end of that spectrum, people can be incapable of taking care of themselves on a day-to-day basis, which in my opinion (and I think mullingitover's) is the real issue.
