Asperger's Syndrome FAQs

Asperger's Syndrome, now considered part of Autism Spectrum Disorder, is a condition affecting social interaction, communication, and behavior. People with Asperger’s often have difficulty understanding social cues, may prefer routines, and have intense interests. They typically have average or above-average intelligence but might struggle with flexibility and social nuance. It's not a disease but a difference in how the brain processes information. With support, individuals can thrive socially and professionally. Each person is unique, so experiences and needs vary. Early diagnosis and tailored interventions can improve social skills and quality of life.
