Kids In Their Own World, Cause Could Be Asperger’s Syndrome

Asperger’s syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by severe impairments in reciprocal social interaction, the use of language for social discourse, and a circumscribed interest in unusual subjects. A difference in cognitive and social-emotional skills creates difficulty for an individual to understand their world and how to interact with it.

Individuals with Asperger’s syndrome can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe, they often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. People with Asperger’s syndrome tend to be “in their own world”. The onset of Asperger’s syndrome commonly occurs after the age of 3. While language development seems, on the surface, normal, individuals with Asperger’s syndrome often have deficits in pragmatics and prosody. Vocabularies may be extraordinarily rich, “however persons with Aspergers can be extremely literal and have difficulty in using language in a social context.

Although symptoms of Asperger’s can be similar to autism disorder, but it is actually a different condition. The major difference between the two disorders is that people with Asperger’s syndrome develop and can use language skills, while people with autism disorder have severe delays in developing language skills as a child. Asperger’s syndrome is characterized by poor social interactions, obsessions, odd speech patterns, few facial expressions, and other peculiar mannerisms. Often, kids with Aspergers Syndrome have trouble reading the body language of others. They might engage in obsessive routines and show an unusual sensitivity to sensory stimuli — for example, they may be bothered by a light that no one else notices; they may cover their ears to block out sounds in the environment; or they might prefer to wear clothing made only of a certain material.

Overall, kids and teens with Asperger’s Syndrome can function in everyday life but tend to be somewhat socially immature, relate better to adults than peers, and may be seen by others as odd or eccentric.
