It is uncertain.
Some people who diagnose or work with people with Asperger's Syndrome describe Asperger's Syndrome (AS) as high-functioning autism (HFA), while others of them think there is a difference. The following is a list of suggested differences between Asperger's Syndrome and high-functioning autism.
* Children with AS might seem normal in family situations and have extreme stress when family is not present. Children with HFA have difficulty in all situations, including those with family. * Children with AS are more likely to form attachments to family but not to strangers, while children with HFA tend to withdraw from everyone. * People with AS want friendships, whereas people with HFA do not care. * Children with AS might have precocious language development while children with HFA do not and might even have delayed language development. * People with AS usually do not have repetitive, stereotyped patterns of behavior except for the all-absorbing preoccupation with a special topic about which an extensive number of facts might be memorized, whereas people with HFA are more likely to engage in repetitive behaviors that draw attention such as head-banging, hand-flapping, and chewing. * People with AS are more likely to exhibit motor clumsiness. People with HFA are more likely to have average or above average motor skills. * People with AS are more likely to be diagnosed as teenagers or adults while people with HFA are more likely to be diagnosed as children because of the slight differences in symptoms. * People with AS might be more imaginative than people with HFA.
Aspergers Syndrome can be called: Aspergers, High-Functioning Autism, or you could just call it Autism, because it's a type of Autism.
No. Aspergers syndrome and autism and stuff like that can only affect humans.
no Aspergers is a human disorder which is impossible for any animal to have.
Adam has Aspergers syndrome, not quite autism, but somewhat similar.
Asperger is different from autism because people with Aspergers are less restricted with behavioral interactions than those with autism. Asperger's is a form of autism, but it is high-functioning and Aspergers is not as severe as actual autism is (Take it from me: I have aspergers and my younger brother has autism)
You can't get rid of AS, you are born with it and there is no cure :(
Autism is still called autism once a child reaches adulthood. Mild cases may be named something else, although closely related to autism, such as Aspergers. Some autistic patients are not diagnosed until they reach adulthood.
Aspergers syndrome is a type of developmental disorder which delays many basic skills, especially one's ability to socialize and communicate with others as well as to use one's imagination. It is similar to autism but children with Aspergers are usually able to function better than children with autism.
Aspergers syndrome and autism are passed genetically, so drugs do not affect it
Yes, it is a learning disability, unless they are Asperger's due to Autism. Comment: Asperger's Syndrome is not a learning disability. It is a neurological condition that is part of the autism spectrum. People with Asperger's Syndrome can also have learning disabilities.
No, Annie Lennox doesn't have Asperger Syndrome. Annie Lennox doesn't show any outward signs of Autism - although women on the spectrum often hide their symptoms.
Spy vs Spy does have Aspergers or High Functioning Autism.
