Asperger's syndrome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Asperger's syndrome Asperger described his patients as "little professors". Asperger's syndrome AS , or the more common shorthand Asperger's ), is characterized as one of the five pervasive developmental disorders , and is commonly referred to as a form of high functioning autism . In very broad terms, individuals with Asperger's are considered to have at least normal intellectual capacity and an atypical social capacity. The term "Asperger's syndrome" was coined by Lorna Wing in a medical paper. She named the syndrome after Hans Asperger , an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician Contents Prevalence Characteristics Social impairments Narrow, intense interests ... edit Prevalence Gillberg ). Data for the adult population is not available. Like other conditions classified as autism spectrum disorders , Asperger's syndrome appears somewhat more prevalent among males than females, with males comprising approximately 75-80 percent of diagnoses. Many clinicians believe that this may not reflect the actual incidence among females; well-known Asperger's syndrome expert Tony Attwood The overwhelming majority of the available information on Asperger's syndrome relates to children; there is currently more conjecture than hard evidence on how it affects adults. It is thought that most people with Asperger's syndrome learn to better cope with their symptoms later in life, but there is no "cure" as such and many, including prominent clinicians such as Attwood as well as many of those diagnosed with Asperger's, would strenuously argue that a cure is neither possible nor desirable (see "A Gift and a Curse" and "Culture", below).

High Functioning Aspergers Syndrome in Children For children 6 to 18 years old The range of children diagnosed as Aspergers syndrome has grown immensely as the diagnosis has become more popular. The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for a high level Aspergers Syndrome child is very different than those approaching classical autism. This information focuses on higher functioning children who have been diagnosed with Aspergers. These children have problems primarily in their poor skills in social interactions, particularly with peers. High functioning Aspergers Syndrome One of the most disturbing aspects of Higher Functioning children with Aspergers (HFA) is their clumsy, nerdish social skills. Though they want to be accepted by their peers, they tend to be very hurt and frustrated by their lack of social success. Their ability to respond is confounded by the negative feedback that these children get from their painful social interactions. This greatly magnifies their social problems. Like any of us, when we get negative feedback, we become unhappy. This further inhibits their social skills, and a vicious circle develops. The worse they perform socially, the more negative feedback they get, so the worse they feel and perform. As this feedback loop iterates, dealing with social situations for Aspergers children become similar to spending their social life on stage anxiously giving a speech. And, for the same reasons that such speeches come off clumsy, with a mechanical sounding voice, stiff gestures and forgotten lines and a turned off the audience is the same reason HFA kids fumble socially and are rejected.

25. Myths About Aspergers Syndrome Those with aspergers syndrome are uncaring and rude and unable to empathize with others Often, because of their inability to perceive other’s intentions http://www.aspergers.org/myths_about_aspergers_syndrome.htm

Myths About Aspergers Syndrome Aspergers Syndrome is “Mild Autism” .. There is nothing “mild” about autism. Aspergers is a neurobiological disorder which has a profound affect on basic life skills. Individuals with Aspergers struggle immensely to overcome their deficits. They must learn much of what others learn intuitively; what others learn without even trying. To the observer, Aspergers may *appear* milder than Classical Autism; however, for the individual living with the disorder, their struggles are not “mild”. Aspergers is caused by poor parenting Aspergers is not the result of the way one is brought up. Current research has determined that there is a genetic component. Parents of children with Aspergers often possess many Aspergerish traits. For example, a father may be perseverative and a mother display rigidity. The child diagnosed with Aspergers has the combination of traits from both parents that combine together to fit the Asperger diagnosis. Those with Aspergers Syndrome are uncaring and rude and unable to empathize with others Often, because of their inability to perceive other’s intentions and perspectives and their impaired capacity to read the unspoken gestures and nuances in everyday social communication, individuals with Aspergers do not respond or do not respond appropriately. This is not the result of not caring but rather the result of not responding to what they do not *see*. Communication is a two way street. We cannot expect someone to recognize, acknowledge and respond to that which they are unaware of.

Culture By NeantHumain Wed May 19th, 2004 at 12:48:55 PM EST Maybe you've heard of it: the Geek Syndrome. You might even know it's a mild form of autism. The truth is Asperger's presents unique struggles that you might not have even thought of before. Asperger's syndrome is a pervasive developmental disorder, or autistic spectrum disorder, recognizable by the lack of social skills and the often highly intellectual, perseverative interests developed by those with Asperger's. For a person with Asperger's (an aspie ), friendships, social banter, and romantic relationships can be difficult channels to navigate. Language First of all, unlike autistic people, I did not have trouble learning to speak. However, I do have mild hyperlexia, which basically means a large vocabulary. Moreover, it is common for autistics and aspies to have some trouble lying, recognizing lies, and interpeting metaphors. The result is that most aspies are seen as literal and humorless. Like many aspies, my voice can sometimes sound monotonous and emotionless. Similarly, aspies are known for giving soliloquies about their favorite subjects, or

Work For Us What is Asperger's Syndrome? Asperger's Syndrome was officially recognised by the World Health Organisation in 1991. Although precise diagnosis is difficult, most clinicians broadly define AS as 'autism without any additional learning disability'. AS is also referred to as HFA or Higher-Functioning Autism. At present, there is no cure for AS. There is no established link between AS and violence. In fact, AS sufferers are far more likely to be strictly law-abiding than the average person. How many people have AS? Estimates vary from 200,000 in the UK and findings suggest that many sufferers are never diagnosed. About 75% of AS sufferers are men. Who was Asperger? Hans Asperger, a Viennese physician, published a paper 1944 describing the pattern of behaviours now known as Asperger's Syndrome Asperger's or autism?

What is Asperger Syndrome Prevalence Current estimates suggest that 1 in 150 of the population may have AS. That's an estimate 150,000 to 200,000 Canadians. The latest studies (2001) from the National Autistic Society in the UK suggests individuals with ASD with an IQ over 70 (a hallmark of AS) make up 71 per 10,000 or .7% of the population. Time Magazine notes in its May 6, 2002 issue cover story, ASD is five times as common as Down syndrome and three times as common as juvenile diabetes Why Haven't I Heard of Asperger Syndrome Although first identified by Dr. Hans Asperger in Austria in 1944, the work of Asperger was only translated into English in 1991 and did not make its way into the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic Statistical Manual until 1994. For decades, individuals with AS went un - or misdiagnosed with any number of related or entirely unrelated disorders. With the recent recognition there has been an astronomical increase in the number of identified individuals with AS in North America. This manifold increase does not seem to lie strictly in better diagnostics. Debate about the causes of autism and AS and their dramatic increase worldwide all point to the desperate need for more and wider research.

Health Matters All in the Mind The Buzz Earthbeat ... Quantum Autism and Asperger's Syndrome Broadcast Monday 22 April 2002 with Norman Swan Summary: There's a growing trend, particularly in the United States, to diagnose children with disorders which are similar to autism but much milder. Transcript: Norman Swan: Welcome to the program. Today on The Health Report, remarkable psychological research that suggests that whether you’re white or black yourself, you respond differently to black people according to how black they are. That’s later, after tackling what some experts are warning is going to be the next behavioural epidemic after Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD. There’s a growing trend, particularly in the United States, to diagnose children with disorders which are similar to autism but much milder. One label applied to people with a mild degree of autistic symptoms is Asperger’s Syndrome. But there’s a much wider spectrum of diagnoses being made. It’s shaping up to be a significant debate, and given how quickly we tend to follow American trends, these diagnoses are already washing against Australian shores. To try to sort out myth from reality, I went to Yale University in Connecticut to speak to one of the world’s leading authorities in autism, Professor Fred Volkmar, who, as you’ll hear, is doing some fascinating research using the movies.

34. Aspergers Syndrome - A Developmental Puzzle Asperger’s Syndrome Information Package. Autism Society of America. Asperger’s Syndrome and Making Sense. Cross, Hubert. http://www.practicalparent.org.uk/asper.htm

Asperger’s Syndrome: A Developmental Puzzle By Michael McCroskery Cognitive and social skills, which shape personality and character, develop throughout life. However, genetic or environmental obstacles can obstruct development, especially early in life. One such obstacle is Asperger’s Syndrome. Asperger’s Syndrome (or AS) is a congenital neurobiological condition that affects 0.25% of the population. AS is linked to autism spectrum disorder, and includes autistic-like behaviour and marked deficiencies in social and communication skills. AS individuals are of average to above average intelligence, some with unusual gifts and creativity. As a diagnosis, it has been known in Europe since the 1940’s, but has only been included in our medical diagnostic manuals since 1994. Thus many adults and children remain undiagnosed. Consequently AS is relatively unknown and not clearly understood, even among professionals. AS is indeed a puzzle, and researchers are working to identify the pieces and form them into a meaningful picture. My experiences as an adult recently diagnosed with Asperger’s, together with my studies in child development, suggest that individuals with AS are like young children—stuck in time, so to speak, never able to advance beyond early stages in social, cognitive and language development. For example, most AS difficulties centre around social competencies. A salient characteristic of young children is egocentrism—the inability to recognize that other people think and feel differently than oneself. Persons with Asperger’s Syndrome remain in this egocentric state, unable to interpret the thoughts and emotions of others, or to experience empathy. Another name given to this condition is "mind blindness"—the incapacity to visualize the mind states of others. Thus it is hard for AS individuals to develop normal friendships, as either children or adults. Without empathy, they become emotionally stunted. A related problem is the inability to carry out social referencing through understanding nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions or body language. Such cues are "invisible" to those with AS.

Asperger's Syndrome , also known as Asperger's Disorder or Autistic Psychopathy, is a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) characterized by severe and sustained impairment in social interaction, development of restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities.

List Sites Click here for info on how to join the Asperger's Syndrome Web Ring Asperger Syndrome is a autism spectrum disorder which is very hard to diagnose. The symptoms are many and varied. It's a neurobiological disorder that affects the brain and the people who have it seem very "normal" a good share of the time. A rough guesstimate is that 1 in every 500 people in the US have this dysfunction which can include everything from language disabilities to sensory problems and physical awkwardness. These people are very intelligent, extremely structured and have no social awareness — they are very literal - tell my son he needs something the way he needs "a hole in the head" and he literally will interpret it as he doesn't need any holes in his head so he doesn't want that; what he's picturing is you trying to actually put a hole in his head - this can cause alarm bells to ring all over the place for the child (can we say "panic"?) and what seemed a moment of small consequence could get out of hand in a big hurry. Ask him if the television can be any louder, and he'll tell you yes - he's not being "smart"; you asked a question and he answered it to the best of his ability. Sarcasm, like other behaviors we as a general public don't think about, is a learned social behavior.
