What is Asperger's Disorder?
Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder.   Both 
Asperger's Disorder and Autistic Disorder are in fact subgroups of a 
larger diagnostic category.  This larger category is called either 
Autistic Spectrum Disorders, mostly in European countries, or Pervasive 
Developmental Disorders ("PDD"), in the United States.  In Asperger's 
Disorder, affected individuals are characterized by social isolation and 
eccentric behavior in childhood. There are impairments in two-sided 
social interaction and non-verbal communication. Though grammatical, 
their speech is peculiar due to abnormalities of inflection and a 
repetitive pattern. Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation 
and gross motor behavior. They usually have a circumscribed area of 
interest which usually leaves no space for more age appropriate, common 
interests. Some examples are cars, trains, French Literature, door 
knobs, hinges, cappucino, meteorology, astronomy or history.  The name 
"Asperger" comes from Hans Asperger, an Austrian physician who first 
described the syndrome in 1944.  An excellent translation of Dr. 
Asperger's original paper is provided by Dr. Uta Frith in her Autism and 
Asperger Syndrome.
