Asperger Syndrome is a complex brain disorder related to Austism. Although there are many individual variations, those with this condition relate very poorly to people. Language development is often delayed and it can be used in an inappropriate way.
People with Asperger Syndrome can have poor understanding of non-verbal communication and can have particular interests which can be pursued to extreme.
