The signs would be the same as those for Asperger's syndrome in children. They do not all present in one person and all those with it do not present with all the same symptoms. Flat aspect (lack of facial expression and dull voice), inability to correctly identify emotions of self or others, inability to correctly interpret facial expressions/body language/tone of voice, emotional detachment, inability to recognize social cues, difficulty with relationships, difficulty empathizing, diffculty regulating voice volume, awkward stance/gait, difficulty making eye contact, monotonal voice, some obsessive-compulsive traits, poor impulse control, usually with a high intelligence, occurs more often in males than females, is often mistaken for an attention deficit and/or hyperactivity disorder. This is enough for starters.

If you suspect that you or someone you know may have undiagnosed Asperger's, a diagnosis is reached through screening by a mental health professional.

Asperger's Syndrome is a mild form of autism. My cousin has it (she's 20), and her symptoms kind of remind me of OCD. She has certain interests that border on obsessions- like legos and swinging. She needs to follow a specific routine every day, or she gets confused, frustrate, or upset with anything that varies from the norm. Once you get her started on something that she's interested in, she'll talk about it for hours. Also, her social skills aren't the best. She has difficulty talking and relating to people, and she needs things explained very specifically. She has a rather intense case. Sometimes it can be milder, less noticable. Like, someone might just be very interested in trains, or cars, or trees-- anything. But the poor social skills and the need for routine are pretty much across the board. Again, the intensity of the symptoms varies from case to case.
