The Geek Syndrome Autism - and its milder cousin Asperger's syndrome - is surging among the children of Silicon Valley. Are math-and-tech genes to blame? By Steve Silberman PLUS Take The AQ Test For More on Autism Nick is building a universe on his computer. He's already mapped out his first planet: an anvil-shaped world called Denthaim that is home to gnomes and gods, along with a three-gendered race known as kiman. As he tells me about his universe, Nick looks up at the ceiling, humming fragments of a melody over and over. "I'm thinking of making magic a form of quantum physics, but I haven't decided yet, actually," he explains. The music of his speech is pitched high, alternately poetic and pedantic - as if the soul of an Oxford don has been awkwardly reincarnated in the body of a chubby, rosy-cheeked boy from Silicon Valley. Nick is 11 years old. Nick's father is a software engineer, and his mother is a computer programmer. They've known that Nick was an unusual child for a long time. He's infatuated with fantasy novels, but he has a hard time reading people. Clearly bright and imaginative, he has no friends his own age. His inability to pick up on hidden agendas makes him easy prey to certain cruelties, as when some kids paid him a few dollars to wear a ridiculous outfit to school. One therapist suggested that Nick was suffering from an anxiety disorder. Another said he had a speech impediment. Then his mother read a book called

Words from the Author: The Asperger’s diagnosis for my son Fred when he was 12 was a life-changing experience for me. When I read what it meant, the diagnosis explained all that had puzzled me about him. The information refocused me toward others—historical enigmas like Thomas Jefferson and people now trying to cope in a world managed poorly by neurotypicals. Trained in writing and political science, I’d found a cause—championing the self-worth and rights of individuals who are developmentally “different.”

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. These characteristics result in clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. In contrast to Autistic disorder (Autism) , there are no clinically significant delays in language or cognition or self help skills or in adaptive behavior, other than social interaction.

Free Content > Asperger's Syndrome Asperger's Syndrome In 1944, Asperger’s Syndrome was first described and named after the Austrian doctor, Hans Asperger. He described individuals who showed odd-like behaviours, a lot like the symptoms thought to be shown by Albert Einstein and Bill Gates. Asperger’s Syndrome is a form of autism that affects how a person communicates and relates with others. This means that they commonly have difficulty in social relationships, in communicating, and have limitations in imagination and creative play Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome are quite often easily understood, and have intelligible speech before being 4 years old. Their grammar and vocabulary are usually very good, but they often repeat what they say and partake in conversations that revolve around themselves. They are usually obsessed with complex topics like patterns, weather, music, and technology. IQ’s of people with Asperger’s Syndrome fall along the full spectrum, but many are above normal for verbal abilities and below average in performance. Many have dyslexia, writing problems and difficulty with mathematics. They mainly have concrete thinking and often lack common sense.

Good luck. Linda 3-year-old's "patterning" behavior Asperger's? Feb 2000 I would urge your sister strongly to have her child evaluated by a good child psychologist. Early diagnosis and treatment is tremendously important to a child with neurological, psychiatric or psychological problems. I wouldn't dream of 'diagnosing' from this distance, even if I were competent to do so. But my personal experience with such problems leads me to encourage your sister to be aggressive in pursuing an evaluation. The secondary effects of an untreated disablity or other problem can be very damaging to the child and to the family, sometimes even more so than the primary problem. (Two good, short and very readable books on this are "The Social Side of Learning Disabilities" and "Learning Disabilities, A Family Affair", both by Betty Osman.) The point I want to stress is that a parent really is in a better position to sense that a problem *may* exist than anyone else. We can't diagnose our children but we spend so much time with them that we have a much fuller picture of their behavior than any professional can hope to have. Thus, a parent's persistent feeling that there may be a problem, or that their child is "off" somehow, should be taken seriously. Parents who are concerned about behaviors like you describe should have their child checked out, especially when the issue or behavior has persisted for a year or more and they are getting the kind of feedbackfrom others that you describe.

Aspergers Syndrome is a neurobiological disorder named after the Austrian psychiatrist Hans Asperger, who first documented the condition in 1944. It is often described as a pervasive developmental dysfunction said to lie within the "high functioning end" of the autistic spectrum of disorders. It's primary characteristics are similar to those of Autism, yet it can be differentiated from Autism by later onset, and relatively well preserved language and cognitive abilities, but the disorder in manifestation can range from mild to severe. While language development appears normal, individuals with AS tend to be extremely literal and exhibit problems using language in a social context.

Usually the skill included extraordinary memory. He applied the term " autistic psychopathy " to these four patients. Dr. Asperger, in Austria, had never heard of Dr. Leo Kanner, in the United States. But surprisingly, only one year earlier, a continent away, Dr. Kanner independently applied the term Early Infantile Autism to a group of 11 patients he had seen with also very unique, but nearly uniform symptoms.

Failing to recognise facial expressions and hidden meanings - Again this can cause difficulties in dealing with friendships and relationships. Difficulties in recognising jokes and sarcasm and often taking everything literally - This can cause misunderstandings and embarrassments into social situations.

[HOME to OASIS] [IMPORTANT NEWS] [BOOKSTORE] [MESSAGE BOARDS] What Is Asperger Syndrome? By Barbara L. Kirby Founder of the OASIS Web site ( www.aspergersyndrome.org Co-author of THE OASIS GUIDE TO ASPERGER SYNDROME (Crown, 2001, Revised 2005) Asperger Syndrome or (Asperger's Disorder) is a neurobiological disorder named for a Viennese physician, Hans Asperger, who in 1944 published a paper which described a pattern of behaviors in several young boys who had normal intelligence and language development, but who also exhibited autistic-like behaviors and marked deficiencies in social and communication skills. In spite of the publication of his paper in the 1940's, it wasn't until 1994 that Asperger Syndrome was added to the DSM IV and only in the past few years has AS been recognized by professionals and parents. Individuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see. It's important to remember that the person with AS perceives the world very differently. Therefore, many behaviors that seem odd or unusual are due to those neurological differences and not the result of intentional rudeness or bad behavior, and most certainly not the result of "improper parenting".
