What is Asperger syndrome?

Asperger's syndrome is a widespread developmental disorder that involves a delay in the development of basic skills, especially the ability to communicate with others, and to use imagination.

Symptoms of Asperger's disease can include:

  Failing to develop friendships:

Children and adults with Asperger syndrome may have difficulty communicating with peers due to a lack of "social skills"

Inability to empathize

People with Asperger's find it difficult to understand the feelings of others and difficulty speaking

Strange or repetitive behaviors:

People with Asperger's syndrome sometimes have a strange way of speaking. Their speaking patterns may be unusual, of a rhythmic nature. Or their speech may be high-pitched.

They may also have delays in motor skills, as they are difficult to understand

Focusing her interests on one thing only:

Shows a strong and sometimes obsessive interest in a few skills, such as music and mathematics

They tend to become exceptionally talented and skilled in this particular area, and also learn a great deal of information and facts that they memorize and can repeat.

 Stick to daily habits:

The focus may be on a routine or ritual where they prefer their external environment to remain constant, because sudden changes may interfere with their coping mechanisms and make them feel anxious.

 Tics and behavioral abnormalities:

Asperger's patients may suffer from tics, including vocal tics, as well as other behavioral abnormalities that contribute to the development of unusual and sometimes involuntary movements.
