"People with Asperger Syndrome have autism-like problems in areas of social interaction and communication, but have normal intelligence and verbal skills.

Asperger Syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, a group of conditions that include autism and other disorders with similar symptoms, such as problems with language and communication, and repetitive or restrictive patterns of thoughts and behavior. It is usually thought to be the mildest of the autism spectrum disorders." (www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/asperger_syndrome.cfm)
