Some support organizations even claim that as many as one in five hundred people in the general population suffers from some aspect of the disease. Underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis may be problems. The cost and difficulty of screening and assessment can delay diagnosis. Conversely, the increasing popularity of drug treatment options and the expansion of benefits has motivated providers to overdiagnose ASD. There are questions about the external validity of the AS diagnosis.

Conditions that must be considered in a differential diagnosis along with ADHD include other ASDs, the schizophrenia spectrum , personality disorders , obsessive—compulsive disorder , major depressive disorder , semantic pragmatic disorder , nonverbal learning disorder , social anxiety disorder , [72] [77] Tourette syndrome , [42] stereotypic movement disorder , bipolar disorder , [55] social-cognitive deficits due to brain damage from alcohol abuse , [79] and obsessive—compulsive personality disorder OCPD.

Parents of children with Asperger syndrome can typically trace differences in their children's development to as early as 30 months of age. Asperger syndrome treatment attempts to manage distressing symptoms and to teach age-appropriate social, communication, and vocational skills that are not naturally acquired during development, [8] with intervention tailored to the needs of the individual based on multidisciplinary assessment. The ideal treatment for AS coordinates therapies that address core symptoms of the disorder, including poor communication skills and obsessive or repetitive routines.

Asperger syndrome

While most professionals agree that the earlier the intervention, the better, there is no single best treatment package. Of the many studies on behavior-based early intervention programs, most are case reports of up to five participants and typically examine a few problem behaviors such as self-injury , aggression , noncompliance, stereotypies , or spontaneous language; unintended side effects are largely ignored.

No medications directly treat the core symptoms of AS. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs fluoxetine , fluvoxamine , and sertraline have been effective in treating restricted and repetitive interests and behaviors. Care must be taken with medications, as side effects may be more common and harder to evaluate in individuals with AS, and tests of drugs' effectiveness against comorbid conditions routinely exclude individuals from the autism spectrum. Individuals with AS may be unable to identify and communicate their internal moods and emotions or to tolerate side effects that for most people would not be problematic.

Although many attend regular education classes, some children with AS may utilize special education services because of their social and behavioral difficulties. Despite high cognitive potential, most young adults with AS remain at home, yet some do marry and work independently. Education of families is critical in developing strategies for understanding strengths and weaknesses; [9] helping the family to cope improves outcomes in children.

Named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger — , Asperger syndrome is a relatively new diagnosis in the field of autism, [] though a syndrome like it was described as early as by Grunya Sukhareva — The children lacked nonverbal communication skills, failed to demonstrate empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy. Asperger called the condition "autistic psychopathy" and described it as primarily marked by social isolation.

Unlike today's AS, autistic psychopathy could be found in people of all levels of intelligence, including those with intellectual disability.

Lorna Wing popularized the term Asperger syndrome in the English-speaking medical community in her publication [] of a series of case studies of children showing similar symptoms, [] and Uta Frith translated Asperger's paper to English in Hundreds of books, articles and websites now describe AS and prevalence estimates have increased dramatically for ASD, with AS recognized as an important subgroup.

Some autistic people have advocated a shift in perception of autism spectrum disorders as complex syndromes rather than diseases that must be cured. Proponents of this view reject the notion that there is an "ideal" brain configuration and that any deviation from the norm is pathological ; they promote tolerance for what they call neurodiversity.

Some researchers have argued that AS can be viewed as a different cognitive style, not a disorder, [13] and that it should be removed from the standard Diagnostic and Statistical Manual , much as homosexuality was removed. By contrast, Pier Jaarsma and Welin wrote in that the "broad version of the neurodiversity claim, covering low-functioning as well as high-functioning autism, is problematic. Only a narrow conception of neurodiversity, referring exclusively to high-functioning autists, is reasonable. The narrow conception of the neurodiversity claim should be accepted but the broader claim should not.
