What is Asperger's Syndrome?

"People with Asperger's Syndrome perceive the world differently from everyone else." (Tony Attwood)

"Some people call autism a 'diffability'." (Wendy Lawson)

Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is a condition on the autistic spectrum. People with AS may have problems with communication, socialisation and imagination. Individuals may find difficulties in using language; making and sustaining friendships; and being flexible. People with AS may also be very intelligent and are able to concentrate and focus on a subject, achieving a high level of skill in their area of interest.
