MedlinePlus: Asperger's syndrome (as) is an autism spectrum disorder. it is milder than autism but shares some of its symptoms. it is more common in boys than girls.
an obsessive interest in a single subject is a major symptom of as. some children with as have become experts on dinosaurs, makes and models of cars, even objects as seemingly odd as vacuum cleaners. their expertise, high level of vocabulary and formal speech patterns make them seem like little professors.
children with as have trouble reading social cues and recognizing other people's feelings. they may have strange movements or mannerisms. all of these make it difficult for them to make friends. problems with motor skills are also common in children with as. they may be late learning to ride a bike or catch a ball, for example. treatment focuses on the three main symptoms: poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.

MalaCards: Asperger Syndrome, also known as asperger's syndrome, is related to autistic disorder and pervasive developmental disorder. An important gene associated with Asperger Syndrome is NLGN3 (neuroligin 3), and among its related pathways is GABA signaling in brain. The compounds fluoxetine and meperidine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Related mouse phenotypes are nervous system and behavior/neurological. Disease Ontology: An autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. it differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.6 NINDS: Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder.31 Genetics Home Reference: Asperger syndrome is a disorder on the autism spectrum, which is a group of conditions characterized by impaired communication and social interaction. Asperger syndrome is on the mild, or "high-functioning," end of the autism spectrum. Many affected individuals learn to compensate for their differences and live independent and successful lives. However, the behavioral challenges associated with this condition often lead to social isolation and difficulties at school, at work, and in personal relationships.17 Wikipedia: Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger\'s syndrome or Asperger disorder, is an autism spectrum...44 more... |
