About Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disorder that involves impaired social interaction and unusual, repetitive actions or interests. The disorder effects one out of every 70 boys and one out of every 90 girls.
About Asperger Syndrome
Asperger Syndrome is a condition found on the higher end of the Autism spectrum. It is characterized by enhanced mental capacity in some areas but diminished social skills. While not all autistics are the same (thus the term spectrum has been used), many can be categorized by their behavior and abilities.
