Asperger's
Syndrome
"Asperger
syndrome
(also referred to as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger's
disorder, Asperger's, or AS) is a condition
on the
autistic
spectrum. It
manifests in various ways and can have both positive and
negative effects. It is typically characterized by issues with
social and
communication skills.
Due to the mixed nature of its effects, it remains
controversial among researchers, physicians, and people who
are diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome."

Websites "Asperger
syndrome is also called
Asperger's syndrome, Asperger
(or Asperger's) disorder, or
just Asperger's. It is named
after the Austrian pediatrician
Hans Asperger who, in 1944,
described children in his
practice who lacked
nonverbal communication
skills, demonstrated limited
empathy with their peers,
and were physically clumsy.Fifty
years later, it was standardized
as a
diagnosis, but questions
about many aspects remain.For
example, there is lingering
doubt about whether it is
distinct from
high-functioning autism (HFA);partly
because of this, its
prevalence is not firmly
established. The exact
cause is unknown, although
research supports the likelihood
of a
genetic basis;
brain imaging techniques
have not identified a clear
common pathology"
