Asperger's Syndrome: An Overview
Summary
Asperger's Syndrome, a milder form of autism, affects approximately 1-2 individuals per 2000, more commonly boys. Although less severe, it remains a serious condition that can impact one's life significantly.
Understanding Asperger's Syndrome
Asperger's Syndrome is a part of the autism spectrum, where symptoms are generally milder. Despite being less distressing to others, it’s a serious condition, affecting around 1-2 in every 2000 people, with a higher prevalence in boys.
Recognized only in the 1990s, Asperger's Syndrome was identified later than autism, which was first diagnosed in 1943. Many individuals with Asperger's go on to lead successful, productive lives.
Causes and Diagnosis
Autism is a neurological disorder, but its exact cause remains unknown. Evidence suggests a genetic component, as families with one affected child often see the condition in other children, in varying degrees.
Other possible factors before, during, or after birth might influence the condition, but these remain uncertain. Ongoing research aims to uncover more definitive answers.
Diagnosing Asperger's Syndrome or autism involves reviewing developmental history and observing the patient, as there’s no straightforward test. While there is no cure, with support and perseverance, many individuals manage to live ordinary lives with minimal difficulties.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome include:
- Challenges in social skills
- Difficulty adapting to changes in surroundings
- Intense preoccupation with specific topics, often leading to proficiency
- Difficulty interpreting non-verbal communication and maintaining appropriate personal space
Despite these challenges, many with Asperger's Syndrome lead fulfilling lives, often achieving great success, partly due to their dedication to specific interests.
