Now encompassed by the more global diagnosis of Austism Spectrum Disorder, (ASD), Asperger’s Syndrome refers to a developmental disorder that makes it very hard to interact with other people.
Children with Asperger’s may find it hard to make friends due to being socially awkward. Asperger’s syndrome is a lifelong condition, but symptoms tend to improve over time. Adults with this condition can learn to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, and they can improve their social skills.
