What is Asperger’s Syndrome?

Asperger’s Syndrome is a form of autism used to describe people who are usually at the higher functioning end of the spectrum. The majority of people with Asperger’s Syndrome become independent as adults, many marry and some display exceptional gifts, though retaining the unusual quality of their social interactions.

As with others on the spectrum, people with Asperger’s Syndrome can sometimes find the world overwhelming, which can make them very anxious. They often wonder why they feel ‘different’.
