Produktbeschreibung
Asperger's syndrome (AS) is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by qualitative impairments in social interactions. Individuals with AS experience difficulty using and interpreting non-verbal communication (e.g., gestures, facial expressions, posture, and eye contact) and understanding nonliteral language and abstractions (e.g., humor, irony, and teasing), display restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior and interests, and have no clinically significant general delay in language or cognition (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000; Kasari & Rotheram-Fuller, 2005). Because individuals with AS have average or above average intelligence and look "normal," their atypical social behaviors are rarely understood by those around them and they are often viewed as having "behavior problems" or being "inappropriate" (Church, Alisanski, & Amanullah, 2000, p. 19).
