Asperger Syndrome is a neurobiological disorder that is characterized by
deficiencies in social and communication skills. Some researcher feel that Asperger
Syndrome is the same as High Functioning Autism, while others feel that it is better
described as a Nonverbal Learning Disability.

Asperger Syndrome is generally finds in Children of ages 7-16. The most
distinguishing symptom of Asperger Syndrome is a child's obsessive interest in a
single object or topic to the exclusion of any other. Though grammatical, their
speech is peculiar due to abnormalities of inflection and a repetitive pattern.
Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behavior.

Inconsistency in the results of various brain imaging studies has been attributed to
the fact that people with autism represent a highly heterogeneous group in terms of
underlying pathology.

There is strong evidence to suggest that Asperger syndrome can be caused by a
variety of physical factors, all of which affect brain development.

Symptom of Asperger Syndrome

Difficulty in Social interaction
Difficulty in social communicating
Difficulty in social relationships
Difficulty in imagination and creative play
Absence of general delay in language development
Non-verbal social communication (discourse) skills

People with Asperger syndromes often want to be sociable and are upset by the fact
that they find it hard to make friends.

Those with Asperger Syndrome are often viewed as eccentric or odd and can easily
become victims of teasing and bullying. To our knowledge, a very small number of
structural brain abnormalities have been so far associated with Asperger\'s Disorder

There is no single best treatment package for all children with Asperger Syndrome.
The ideal treatment for Asperger Syndrome coordinates therapies that address the
three core symptoms of the disorder: poor communication skills, obsessive or
repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.

To help Asperger Syndrome affected children we should told him the meaning of eye
contact, gaze, various and inflections as well as tone of voice, facial and hand
gestures. And also non-literal communications such as humor, figurative language,
irony, sarcasm and metaphor, should all be taught.
