Asperger's syndrome is a developmental disorder that is part of the autism spectrum. It affects how a person thinks, interacts, and experiences the world. Individuals with Asperger's often have difficulty with social interactions and may struggle to understand social cues, which can make communication challenging. People with Asperger's typically have average or above-average intelligence and may excel in specific areas, such as mathematics or music. They may also have intense interests in particular subjects. While there is no cure, early intervention and support can help individuals develop social skills and lead fulfilling lives.
