Asperger's syndrome is a developmental disorder that is characterized by poor social skills, the inability to communicate effectively, and a strong, obsession in a specific topic or thing. 1 percent of the children in the U.S ages 3-17 have an autism spectrum disorder, and it is the fastest growing developmental disability with a growth rate of 1,148%. It is estimated that 1 in 110 children with be born with the disorder. The cause is unknown. Scientists think that genetics may play a role, as it tends to run in families. Brain scans show differences in the structure and shape of the brain in children with pervasive developmental disorders compared to neurotypical children. Brain abnormalities likely play a role in the disorder. Environmental factor may also play a role.
