What's the difference in the middle of autism and Asperger's syndrome? What do they have in common? That's a examine that concerns many people.
Asperger's syndrome and autism are both on the spectrum of Autism Disorder which also includes Rett's Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, etc. All these types of autism disorder present at least some of those symptoms: echolalia (repeating words said by others), abnormal group behavior, restricted range of interest, poor motor coordination and self-stimulating behavior.
Asperger's syndrome is a mild form of autism. Citizen suffer asperger's don't have communication delays as Citizen with other forms of autism have, they function relatively well in terms of intelligence and group functions, and they often conduct to go to school, graduate from colleges and live independently. Asperger's syndrome is a specific type of "high-functioning autism"(Hfa), which is characterized by poor group skills, industrialized and overly formal language, and extensive, pervasive interest in a specific subject. It's said that geniuses and Citizen with asperger's share same characteristics, because they both have narrow interests and are more focused and persistent on what they are doing than general people. Many geniuses showed asperger's traits, for example, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, George Orwell and H G Wells. It is widely said that the president of United States, George W. Bush, suffered from asperger's syndrome too.
Both Asperger's and Autism are subgroups of a larger diagnostic class called Autistic Spectrum Disorders(Asd), Citizen can be affected by the disorder very differently form others.
