It depends on what they read because if what they read is: irony, sarcasm, and slang then yes they will have difficulty but if it is normal and formal words then they will not have any difficulty understanding what they have read.

How is asperger's syndrome different from autism diagnosis?
There really is no difference between Autism and Asperger Syndrome, thus why the two diagnosis have now been merged - many doctors simply diagnosed Asperger Syndrome to avoid stigma of Autism. The only real difference was that Autistic children showed developmental delays, however that in itself does not mean that Asperger Syndrome was a seperate disorder just that different children develop at different rates.

Is Asperger's syndrome more adverse than autism?
no.A:Some people describe Asperger's Syndrome as a mild form of autism. This is inaccurate. Asperger's Syndrome and autism can be equally severe or equally mild. There is a range from mild to severe of each.It is labeled as autism if the child has mental retardation, whereas Asperger's Syndrome is associated with average or above average intelligence. But, when people recognize that a person is retarded, they have different expectations, so certain situations can be more difficult for a person with Asperger's Syndrome because other people expect more, not understanding their difficulties.The diagnostic criteria of both are very similar. It might be labeled as autism if the child has difficulties that are recognized at a young age, but in later years, it could be rediagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome.Asperger's Syndrome is sometimes called high-functioning autism, which means they are apparently better able to function in society. However, some people who have Asperger's Syndrome cannot function in society. Similarly, some people with autism can function in society. Because people with Asperger's Syndrome tend to have higher intelligence, they can find ways to compensate for some of their difficulties, but that can result in more stress than a person with autism (or Asperger's Syndrome) who avoids the situations causing those difficulties entirely.Some people who have worked with children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome have speculated that they are differences. One possible difference is that children with autism have better motor control, and thus are better at sports and physical activities, whereas children with Asperger's Syndrome have poor motor control (clumsiness). Another possible difference is that children with autism do not care whether they have friends, but children with Asperger's Syndrome want friends but are unable to develop friendships, so they feel more depressed about that.In summary, there are differences, but they are probably equally adverse. You could find some people with autism who have cases that are more adverse than some people with Asperger's Syndrome, but you could also find some people with Asperger's Syndrome who have cases that are more adverse than some people with autism.

How do you tell a child about Asperger's Syndrome?
What and how you tell a child about Asperger's Syndrome will depend on the child's age and how much interaction he or she will have with a person who has Asperger's Syndrome. A child with a sibling or parent who has Asperger's Syndrome could see more characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome than one whose friend has it, and a child whose friend has it is likely to see more characteristics than one whose classmate has it. If it is a friend, discuss it with the parents of the friend to learn what characteristics the friend exhibits and what your child could do to help his or her friend. If it is a classmate, ask the school personnel what behaviors occur at school. Some characteristics to cover are: * misinterpreting meanings such as when taking words literally * sensory issues * adherence to routines such as wearing the same clothes or sitting in the same spot Some of the more comprehensive websites on autism and Asperger's Syndrome have information on describing Asperger's Syndrome to children. Also, the book "Can I Tell You about Asperger Syndrome? A Guide for Friends and Family?" by Jude Welton is written for children. It might be available from your local library. If you are telling a child that he or she has Asperger's Syndrome, see the related question below "How do you tell your child that she has Asperger's Syndrome?"
