What is Asperger's Syndrome
People with Asperger's can unintentionally act in an immature way even though they are seen by the world as adults in their own right. This comes about through the lack of knowledge of appropriate behaviour and often the inability to link action and consequence together.
The inability to express feelings using words often leads to frustration, because the Aspie person does not understand how feelings affect us in different ways in our lives.
The intense focus and tendency to work things out logically often grants those people with Asperger's syndrome a high level of ability in their field of interest. When these special interests coincide with a materially or socially useful task, the person with Asperger's syndrome often can lead a profitable career and a fulfilled life.
Impairment of imagination: A person with Asperger's Syndrome may not know or understand how to use their imagination effectively for everyday situations and for making their own decisions.
They can be, in some instances, unable to make decisions for themselves, and are sheltered from their own independence from the world. Parents or carers sometimes need to make decisions for them, until they are exposed to the world to make their own decisions and live their own lives.
People with Asperger's Syndrome don't have eye-contact with other people, a failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people (e.g., a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people) and a lack of social or emotional reciprocity.
