Asperger Syndrome
Asperger syndrome is a severe developmental disorder that has as main feature the difficulty in social interaction and finding interest, followed by a limited and unusual behavior. Many come to confuse this condition with autism without mental RETAS calling high functioning autism, but is now somewhat difficult to establish differences between the two since they have similar symptoms.
People with this syndrome tend to hide, since they possess good oral communication, an IQ within the normal and even often higher than normal, and a solitary lifestyle, as this is common behavior of human beings, it becomes very difficult to know who has this syndrome. But the shortcomings can be seen in new situations or social situations that require other behavior which is not usual.
We emphasize that people with Asperger syndrome manifested maladaptive behaviors in various environments, and this is because these individuals have a poor understanding of social phenomena and therefore astonished when facing new experiences.
Asperger’s observations, published in German, is not widely known until 1981, when the English doctor Lorna Wing published a series of case studies of children who showed similar symptoms, which called syndrome of “Asperger’s. Wing’s writings were widely published and popularized. AS became a distinct disease diagnosed in 1992, when it was included in the tenth edition of the diagnostic manual published by the World Health Organization, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), and in 1994 was added to the Diagnostic Manual and Statistical of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) diagnostic reference book of the American Psychiatric Association.
What are some common signs or symptoms?
The most distinguishing symptom of AS is the child’s obsessive interest in a single object or topic to the exclusion of any other. Some children with AS have become experts on vacuum cleaners, makes and models of cars, even objects as peculiar as fryers. Children with AS want to know everything about their topic of interest and their conversations with others will be about little else. Their expertise, high level of vocabulary and formal speech patterns make them seem like little professors.
Children with AS gather large amounts of factual information about your favorite topic and talk about it incessantly, but the conversation may seem like a collection of facts and figures at random, without point or conclusion.
