The children exhibited what were seen to be impaired social skills, and had many other unusual behavioral patterns.
They struggled with social interactions, had very few facial expressions, and showed many special mannerisms. For instance, they could not tolerate clothes made of certain materials, would be annoyed at light that was normal for others, or would try to cover their ears to stop listening to normal noises.
They would look odd and exceptional by the way they would behave. The children exhibited intense interests, which they loved to share with others around them. Asperger referred to them as "little professors" [4] [5] [6] [7] because of their extensive knowledge of their favorite subjects.
They also had incredible attention to detail and deeply valued honesty. Asperger called the condition "autistic psychopathy" and described it as primarily marked by social isolation. TEACCH, as a method, is less intrusive and aggressive toward students and their existing behaviors; a parent's comfort level watching this method may be higher.
The model also offers various manuals and supports to help new programs establish themselves and supports existing programs implementing positive changes. ABA has been supported to be more effective in teaching functional and social language, bridging the gap of cognitive skills, and teaching self-help and functional independence. Replication of the original program and the curriculum can be challenging although many of the programs can now be purchased. Training staff to implement this method requires significant time and personnel with excellent background knowledge.
To be effectively implemented, classroom sizes and student to staff ratios must be small. However, this is a challenge of most educational programs and academic and social interventions.
Unintended side effects of medication and intervention have largely been ignored in the literature about treatment programs for children or adults, [61] and there are claims that some treatments are not ethical and do more harm than good.
Persons with AS appear to have normal lifespans , but have an increased prevalence of comorbid psychiatric conditions such as depression , mood disorders , and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Children with AS can learn to manage their differences, but they may continue to find social situations and personal relationships challenging. Many adults with AS are able to work successfully in mainstream jobs, although they may continue to need encouragement and moral support to maintain an independent life.
Individuals with AS may make great intellectual contributions: published case reports suggest an association with accomplishments in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics. The deficits associated with AS may be debilitating, but many individuals experience positive outcomes, particularly those who are able to excel in areas less dependent on social interaction, such as mathematics , music , and the sciences.
The prevalence of AS is not well established, but conservative estimates using the DSM-IV criteria indicate that two to three of every 10, children have the condition, making it rarer than autistic disorder itself. Three to four times as many boys have AS compared with girls. A broad-based population study in Sweden found that 36 per 10, school-aged children met Gillberg's criteria for AS, rising to 71 per 10, if suspected cases are included.
The Sweden study demonstrated that AS may be more common than once thought and may be currently underdiagnosed. Leekam et al. Like other autism spectrum disorders , AS prevalence estimates for males are higher than for females, [5] but some clinicians believe that this may not reflect the actual incidence rates.
Tony Attwood suggests that females learn to compensate better for their impairments due to gender differences in the handling of socialization. The prevalence of AS in adults is not well understood, but Baron-Cohen et al. Most patients presenting in clinical settings with AS have other comorbid psychiatric disorders. Children with Asperger's Syndrome are prone to develop mood disorders [73].
Serious eating disorders, such as Anorexia Nervosa can also be associated with this condition. Research indicates people with AS may be far more likely to have the associated conditions. The particularly high comorbidity with anxiety often requires special attention. One study reported that about 84 percent of individuals with a Pervasive Developmental Disorder PDD also met the criteria to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
Treatment of anxiety disorders that accompany a PDD can be handled in a number of ways, such as through medication or individual and group cognitive behavioral therapy, where relaxation or distraction-type activities may be used along with other techniques in order to diffuse the feelings of anxiety. Some professionals contend that, far from being a disease, AS is simply the pathologizing of neurodiversity that should be celebrated, understood and accommodated instead of treated or cured.
Autistic people have contributed to a shift in perception of autism spectrum disorders as complex syndromes rather than diseases that must be cured. They demand tolerance for what they call their neurodiversity in much the same way physically handicapped people have demanded tolerance. People with AS may refer to themselves in casual conversation as "aspies", coined by Liane Holliday Willey in , [88] or as an "Aspergian". A Wired magazine article, The Geek Syndrome , [90] suggested that AS is more common in the Silicon Valley, a haven for computer scientists and mathematicians.
It posited that AS may be the result of assortative mating by geeks in mathematical and technological areas. AS can be found in all occupations, however, and is not limited to those in the math and science fields.
The popularization of the Internet has allowed individuals with AS to communicate with each other in a way that was not possible to do offline due to the rarity and the geographic dispersal of individuals with AS. As a result of increasing ability to connect with one another, a subculture of "Aspies" has formed. Internet sites have made it easier for individuals to connect with each other. AS may lead to problems in social interaction with peers.
These problems can be severe or mild depending on the individual. Children with AS are often the target of bullying at school due to their idiosyncratic behavior, language, interests, and impaired ability to perceive and respond in socially expected ways to nonverbal cues, particularly in interpersonal conflict. Children with AS may be extremely literal and may have difficulty interpreting and responding to sarcasm or banter. The above problems can even arise in the family ; given an unfavorable family environment, the child may be subject to emotional abuse.
A child or teen with AS is often puzzled by this mistreatment, unaware of what has been done incorrectly. Unlike other pervasive development disorders, most children with AS want to be social, but fail to socialize successfully, which can lead to later withdrawal and asocial behavior, especially in adolescence.
People with AS often get along a lot better with those considerably older or younger than them, rather than those their own age. This may be especially evident when the children hit middle school where the educational philosophy switches from rote tasks and memorization i. This combination of traits can lead to problems with teachers and other authority figures. A child with AS might be regarded by teachers as a "problem child" or a "poor performer.
Lack of support and understanding, in combination with the child's anxieties, can result in problematic behavior such as severe tantrums, violent and angry outbursts, and withdrawal.
Although adults with AS may have similar problems, they are not as likely to be given treatment as a child would. They may find it difficult finding employment or entering undergraduate or graduate schools because of poor interview skills or a low score on standardized or personality tests. They also may be more vulnerable to poverty and homelessness than the general population, because of their difficulty finding and keeping employment, lack of proper education , premature social skills , and other factors.
Communication deficits may mean people at work have difficulty understanding the person with AS, who in turn does not understand them. Resultant problems with authority figures continue as difficult, tense relations become prevalent. People with AS report a feeling of being unwillingly detached from the world around them.
They may have difficulty finding a life partner or getting married due to poor social skills and poverty. In a similar fashion to school bullying, the person with AS is vulnerable to problems in their neighbourhood, such as anti-social behaviour and harassment. Due to social isolation, they can be seen as the 'black sheep' in the community and thus may be at risk of wrongful suspicions and allegations from others.
In order for them to see the purpose or relevance of a relationship beyond a point of interest or concept it may represent to them, it will require facilitation from a skilled professional.
These connections are crucial throughout the life of an individual with AS. When these connections become incredibly complex, however, is in adulthood and unfortunately this is when the fewest services are provided for this population. Direct teaching around how to identify and establish social boundaries as well as recognizing a person and relationship that he or she can trust is necessary for social success.
The complexity and inconsistency of the social world can pose an extreme challenge for individuals with AS. On the other hand, many adults with AS do get married, [96] get graduate degrees, become wealthy, and hold jobs. When these special interests coincide with a materially or socially useful task, the person with AS often can lead a profitable life.
The child obsessed with naval architecture may grow up to be an accomplished shipwright. The neutrality of this section is disputed. Please view the article's talk page section. AS adults do marry. They may, however, find it difficult to stay married; some initial research puts the divorce rate at approximately eighty percent. The resulting split can be fraught with intense or high conflict or domestic violence.
It is an area potentially fraught with controversy, as it appears to pit the Reproductive Rights of parents with disabilities against Children's Rights. Thus it is an emerging area which requires much further research and debate.
The topic first surfaced in the public domain in on ASpar an online support group founded by Judy Singer, elsewhere known as an advocate for autistics, and credited with coining the idea of Neurodiversity. Her experiences with an AS mother had been painful and she wanted to find others in the same situation, for validation of her experiences and to find a path to acceptance.
From the testimonials of the members of ASpar, a clear pattern of parenting dysfunction soon began to emerge, consistent with a diagnosis of AS, some of which is now documented on the ASpar website and its related blog.
The profile of AS includes characteristics that make parenting difficult:. Sites like ASpar and FAAAS Families of Adults Affected by Asperger's Syndrome , another influential website putting the views of NT members of AS affected families, already present a wealth of anecdotal evidence that the impairment of parenting skills within a significant number of people with AS have inflicted long-term psychological damage on children.
