Asperger Syndrome
Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a neurological condition on the autism spectrum that involves differences in social interaction, accompanied by unusually intense or highly-focused interests and activities, and repetitive or stereotyped patterns of behavior. The condition is a pervasive developmental disability (PDD) related to autism. It differs from autism in that those with AS by definition always have normal or above intelligence and no delay in language development in early childhood. Typical Asperger Strengths • Loyalty Much of the information here about AS would apply equally to a similar autism spectrum disorder, PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified). Some may also use the term high-functioning autism as a rough equivalent to AS.
