Asperger syndrome – also called Asperger's syndrome, AS, or just Asperger's – is one of five neurobiological pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), and is characterized by average to above average intelligenceWilliams, Karen Understanding the Student with Asperger Syndrome: Guidelines for Teachers FOCUS ON AUTISTIC BEHAVIOR, Vol. 10, No. 2, Copyright, June l995 by PRO-ED, Inc National Autistic Society (uk) What is Asperger Syndrome? and standard language development, but deficiencies in social and communication skills. The diagnosis of Asperger syndrome is complicated by the lack of a standard diagnostic screen, and the use of several different screening instruments and sets of diagnostic criteria. The exact cause of AS is unknown, and the prevalence is not firmly established, due partly to the use of differing sets of diagnostic criteria.
Asperger syndrome was named in honor of Hans Asperger, an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician, by researcher Lorna Wing, who first used the eponym in a 1981 paper. In 1994, AS was recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
