Aspergher Syndrome Talk

In one of our last Communication Skills classes, we had a talk about people with "Asperger Syndrome", so in this post i will try to give you some information about it.

By the defenition, Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) considered to be on the “high functioning” end of the spectrum. Affected children and adults have difficulty with social interactions and exhibit a restricted range of interests and/or repetitive behaviors. Motor development may be delayed, leading to clumsiness or uncoordinated motor movements. Compared with those affected by other forms of ASD, however, those with Asperger syndrome do not have significant delays or difficulties in language or cognitive development. Some even demonstrate precocious vocabulary – often in a highly specialized field of interest.

The following behaviors are often associated with Asperger syndrome. However, they are seldom all present in any one individual and vary widely in degree:
• "robotic" or repetitive speech
• challenges with nonverbal communication (gestures, facial expression, etc.) coupled with average to above average verbal skills
• tendency to discuss self rather than others
• inability to understand social/emotional issues or nonliteral phrases
• lack of eye contact or reciprocal conversation
• obsession with specific, often unusual, topics
• one-sided conversations
• awkward movements and/or mannerisms

• limited or inappropriate social interactions

In my conclusion i would like to say that people who has "Aspergher Syndrome" absolutely the same as all other people, and i think that no one should discriminate them. In other words, i think that we shouldn't point on them or anything else, they are also normal as us.

At the end of the post i want you to watch YouTube video about Asperger's Syndrome, which will be useful for your knowledge.
