Question
I would like to know what the Asperger's Disorder and Autism is. How do Autistic people behave?
Hi Imran;
Many professionals believe Asperger's Syndrome to be the same as high functioning autism. Children with Asperger's typically have higher nonverbal cognitive skills than verbal ones. They often walk dysfluently and have handwriting problems. They have poor social skills, which frequently results in depression.
Kind Regards,
James
