Have You Heard of Asperger Syndrome?

What is Asperger Syndrome? 
Several years ago I was told that one of my relative may have Asperger Syndrome(AS). That was the first time I heard of AS. However just recently this relative visited us. The more I observed this relative's behavior and social skills and INTERACTION (now an adult), the more I believed that he may have a mild type of AS indeed.

So I did some Internet search ( Wikipedia) and here's a brief summary of what I learn and like sharing it with you.  Asperger syndrome generally involves:

  • Difficulty with social interactions
  • Restricted interests
  • Desire for sameness
  • Distinctive strengths

Strengths can include:

  • Remarkable focus and persistence
  • Aptitude for recognizing patterns
  • Attention to detail

Challenges can include:

  • Hypersensitivities (to lights, sounds, tastes, etc.)
  • Difficulty with the give and take of conversation
  • Difficulty with nonverbal conversation skills (distance, loudness, tone, etc.)
  • Uncoordinated movements, or clumsiness
  • Anxiety and depression

Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's, is a developmental disorder characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
As a milder autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it differs from other ASDs by relatively normal language and intelligence. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and unusual use of language are common. Signs usually begin before two years of age and typically last for a person's entire life.
