Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism characterized by severe impairments in social communication and interaction.
What is the difference between autism and Asperger's syndrome
Unlike other cases of autism, Asperger syndrome does not have significant delays in speech and cognitive development. Intelligence is often normal (overall IQ is at least 70, with verbal intelligence being better developed and non-verbal intelligence being worse) or above normal.
How do people with Asperger's syndrome behave
This syndrome differs from true autism in the preservation of speech and cognitive functions.
To date, the causes of Asperger's syndrome remain unclear.
Children with Asperger syndrome often have difficulty communicating with peers.
They may have difficulty understanding informal and nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice.
They may also have trouble maintaining eye contact.
Children with Asperger's syndrome are also often isolated due to poor social skills and have developmental delays, according to NINDS.
At what age does Asperger's syndrome appear
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a diagnostic term for a group of developmental disorders that affect the way people interact and communicate with others.
The disease usually develops by 2-3 years. Clinical signs of Asperger's syndrome in a child can be pronounced or faded.
Previously, we talked about aggression.
