Asperger's is a developmental disorder that is part of the autism spectrum. It affects how individuals communicate and interact with others. People with Asperger's often have difficulty understanding social cues and may struggle with forming relationships. They may also have intense interests in specific subjects. Unlike some other forms of autism, individuals with Asperger's typically have average or above-average intelligence and do not have significant delays in language development. They may exhibit repetitive behaviors or routines and can be sensitive to sensory input. Early diagnosis and support can help individuals lead fulfilling lives.
