How many people know what Asbergers is OR Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy are?

Answer 1

Aspergers is a bit like Autism. Ever see "Rain Man"?

An aspergers child is usually antisocial, has difficulty with being touched, and does not make friends easily.

The biggest difference between autism and Aspergers is that Autistic children are sometimes called "idiot savant" - this is an old and very outdated term, but what it refers to is the fact that Autistic children usually are brilliant in some aspect. Usually with numbers.

In Aspergers, children are usually stronger with Language. They may seem withdrawn, but will talk with an amazing vocabulary or understand advanced literary passages, or make connections in poetry that are beyond their age level.

Answer 2

Asperger's Disorder is considered a Pervasive Developmental Disorder. This means that it has to do with the child's overall development as opposed to acting out by choice or an emotional issue. Asperger's generally presents in children by an lack of emotional reciprocity (e.g. doesn't respond in an age appropriate fashion to others around them). These children are often fixated with objects or parts of objects and may even become very adept at a certain subject (e.g. history or math). However, they may be severely impaired by a lack of knowledge about other subjects (e.g. how to respond to others). Don't know about Supra Nuclear Palsy.
