Aspergers

BRIEF SUMMARY

Asperger syndrome is one of several previously separate subtypes of autism that were folded into the single diagnosis autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with the publication of the DSM-5 diagnostic manual in 2013.

 

KEY POINTS

  • Autism is a spectrum disorder. It is very hard to predict what cluster of behaviors/characteristics may define the disorder for any given child.
  • While Asperger’s is generally used to identify students with high-functioning autism, this is a broad category.

SHARED WISDOM

  • Students with Asperger’s Syndrome can benefit from Different Like Me clubs, that allow them to socialize with similar children with minimal adult intervention.
  • Many students with Asperger’s have surprising insight into their own struggles and great ideas for helping them.

RESOURCES

  • Autism Speaks article
