aspergers is the correct spelling and there is a wealth of information out there on it. It is a form of autism I believe.

Yes, Asperger's is in the Autism spectrum, most are high functioning but have obvious traits. I have a 23 year old daughter with Asperger's who wasn't diagnosed until she was 16 years old so she attended regular school. Had we been able to diagnose it properly when she was young, we would have done things completely different.

yes, it is on the autism spectrum. sometimes people with asperger's are described as being high functioning autistics, but the symptoms are a little different. where autistics might withdraw from social interaction, people with asperger's often are overly outgoing, without much intuitive understanding of social interaction. it is generally considered less severe then autism.

Asperger's Syndrome is one of the conditions (as is autism) under the umbrella term of "Pervasive Developmental Disorders."

According to Attwood and Gray, It may be characterized by:

- "peer relationships characterized by absolute loyalty and impeccable dependability,"

- "seeking an audience or friends capable of: enthusiasm for unique interests and topics,"

- "consideration of details; spending time discussing a topic that may not be of primary interest,"

- "interested primarily in significant contributions to conversation; preferring to avoid 'ritualistic small talk' or socially trivial statements and superficial conversation,"

- "seeking sincere, positive, genuine friends with an unassuming sense of humor,"

- "advanced vocabulary and interest in words,"

- "strong preference for detail over gestalt,"

- "exceptional memory and/or recall of details ... for example: names, dates, schedules, routines,"

- "avid perseverance in gathering and cataloging information on a topic of interest,"

- "focused desire to maintain order and accuracy,"

- "clarity of values/decision making unaltered by political or financial factors,"

- "acute sensitivity to specific sensory experiences and stimuli, for example: hearing, touch, vision, and/or smell,"

and

- "strength in individual sports and games, particularly those involving endurance or visual accuracy, including rowing, swimming, bowling, chess."
