What are the symptoms of Asperger Syndrome?
| AS Resources - What is Aspergers |
National Institutes of Health:
"One of the most distinct symptoms of Asperger Syndrome is having an obsessive interest in a single object or topic—often so much so that the person ignores other objects, topics, or thoughts.
Those with Asperger Syndrome tend to have good vocabularies and grammar skills. But they usually have other language problems, such as being very literal and having trouble understanding non-verbal communications, such as body language.
Other symptoms of Asperger syndrome may include:
Obsessive or repetitive routines and rituals
Motor-skill problems, such as clumsy or uncoordinated movements and delays in motor skills
Social-skill problems, especially related to communicating with others
Sensitivity to sensory information, such as light, sound, texture, and taste"
