People with Asperger syndrome may have difficulty understanding social cues and may struggle to make friends. However, they often have strong interests in specific topics and can excel in areas like math, science, or art. Individuals with Asperger syndrome typically have average or above-average intelligence. They may also display repetitive behaviors or routines. While they face challenges in social situations, many lead fulfilling lives with the right support and understanding from family, friends, and the community.
