Teen syndrome

What is Asperger Syndrome like?

*People with Asperger syndrome find it hard to relate to other people.
*They may talk a lot about their own interests, but have problems getting the message across or giving others the chance to talk.
*They have trouble understanding the feelings of other people and they do not seem able to read body language. For example, a person with Asperger syndrome may not realise when they have hurt someone's feelings, or when someone doesn't want to listen to them.
*They like everything to be the same, and everything to be in the right place. They can get very upset if something is done 'the wrong way'.
*The effects of Asperger syndrome can vary from slightly unusual behaviour to quite aggressive and anti-social behaviour.
*Some people who are said to be eccentric loners may have Asperger syndrome.
*Many great scientists, writers and artists are thought to have had Asperger syndrome, including many Nobel Prize winners.

It affects people all of their lives but as people get older they get better at social and coping skills.
People with Asperger syndrome can do well when others understand the effects of the syndrome on their behaviour and learning, and provide a supportive environment.
