Asperger
syndrome is a form of autisim, which is a lifelong disability that affects how
a person makes sense of the world, processes information and relates to other
people. Autism is often described as a 'spectrum disorder' because the
condition affects people in many different ways and to varying degrees.
Asperger
syndrome is mostly a 'hidden disability'. This means that you can't tell that
someone has the condition from their outward appearance. People with the
condition have difficulties in three main areas. They are: social
communication, social interaction and social imagination.
While there
are similarities with autism, people with Asperger syndrome have fewer problems
with speaking and are often of average, or above average, intelligence. They do
not usually have the accompanying learning disabilities associated with autism,
but they may have specific learning difficulties. These may include dyslexia
and dyspraxia or other conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) and epilepsy.
