Which school subjects are difficult for children with Asperger's Syndrome?
Subjects like PE and Drama use lots of group activities, which people with Asperger's Syndrome find harder.
What is one challenge for children with Asperger's Syndrome?
Most children with Asperger's get very angry because most people like to call them ''nerds'' or ''geeks''. Most children like to hit them because of this but I think it is best not to pick on them. When they are angry they go mad and berserk which other children called ''psycho'' or ''handicapped''. And though most say it is a disability to have Asperger's it is not a disability. I believe that it's because most children are so disabled they can call their superiors a "geek" or "nerd" and hit them!!! When a child goes berserk it is not his fault and other children are the ones who are meant to be blamed. I have Asperger's and I do not know why when others like me go berserk people blame them instead of those ''disabled" little critters.

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.

Who was Hans Asperger?
Hans Asperger was one of the first persons to study and describe characteristics of autism. Unfortunately, though his work was published in 1944, it was originally written in German, and not till 1991 did Uta Frith translate it from the German into the English. His and Leo Kanner's works are considered the basis for the modern concept of autism. Hans Asperger, who lived from 1906 to 1980, was a pediatrician who studied "autistic psychopathy." He lived most of his life in Austria. He described certain children with autistic characteristics as "little professors." Leo Kanner was also studying children with "autistic disturbances" at this time. Asperger was more interested in the children with these characteristics who also were especially capable in some area (e.g., mathematics) and did not seem to have the language delay that occurs in some children with autistic characteristics, which is why Asperger's Syndrome was named after him. His description of "autistic psychopathy" is closer to the current description of Asperger's Syndrome than Kanner's, whose description is more like the current description of autism. Lorna Wing is known to have used the term "Asperger syndrome" in 1976, and she even defined the term in print in 1981, but her usage and definition of it differed somewhat from Asperger's description of "autistic psychopathy." Included following are some links that tell more about Hans Asperger.
