Whats the difference between peripheral and autonomic neuropathy?

There are three types of peripheral nerves; the autonomic, the sensory, and the motor nerves. Peripheral neuropathy occurs when any of these nerves are damaged whereas autonomic neuropathy occurs when there is damage to the autonomic nerves which control automatic body functions. Instead of numbness or burning pain as with peripheral neuropathy, symptoms of autonomic neuropathy include urinary problems, sexual difficulties, constipation, dizziness, and fainting.
