- What is Asperger Syndrome?
- Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a social communication disorder affecting key aspects of social understanding, language usage and sensory integration. Typically first observed in early childhood, symptoms of this disposition include autistic-like preoccupations with factual information and special interests, a preference for seeking knowledge over socializing and general awkwardness in engaging with others comfortably. Good vocabulary and above average intelligence are usually present in the aspergian person and despite these obvious abilities they feel lost in the subtleties of everyday social rituals. Individuals with AS can vary significantly in their range of strengths and weaknesses and an individualized education or employment assessment is often a vital component of management. Due to their potential, individuals with Asperger Syndrome represent a significant resource to any school or employment setting.
