Asperger Syndrome is a developmental disorder that is part of the autism spectrum. It affects how individuals communicate and interact with others. People with Asperger Syndrome may have difficulty understanding social cues and may struggle with making eye contact or engaging in small talk. However, they often have average or above-average intelligence and may excel in specific areas of interest. Individuals with Asperger Syndrome may also display repetitive behaviors or have intense focus on particular subjects. While they may find social situations challenging, many can lead fulfilling lives with appropriate support and understanding from family, friends, and educators.
