Asperger's Disorder is a separate Autistic Spectrum disorder which does not meet criteria for other Pervasive Developmental Disorders or Schizophrenia. Features of Asperger's Disorder are severe and sustained impairment in social interaction and the development of repetitive patterns of behavior, interests and activities, and significant impairment in social, occupational and other important areas of functioning. Because there are no significant language delays or cognitive deficits, Asperger's is considered a form of high functioning autism
Avoidant Personality Disorder is where a person has an extreme fear of being judged negatively by other people, and suffers from a high level of social discomfort as a result. They tend to only enter into relationships where uncritical acceptance is almost guaranteed, undergo social withdrawal, suffer from low self esteem, but have a great desire for affection and acceptance. However, they do not want the affection as much as they fear the rejection.
