Did Albert Einstein suffer from Asperger Syndrome? His single minded focus leads many experts to believe he did. While Asperger Syndrome has only fairly recently been diagnosed many famous people throughout history are believed to have suffered form it.
Considering that autism was only recognized in the 1940s, our knowledge of the different forms, such as Asperger, is even today still in its infancy. Many people still do not even know that such as syndrome exist. Even with the advances made, diagnosing Asperger Syndrome is not always easy, as not all sufferers necessarily exhibit all of the symptoms. Understanding it is sometimes even more difficult.
Asperger Syndrome creates a unique set of difficulties for suffers. Most people with this syndrome have average to above average intelligence. They are often able to live on their own but their behavior may seem odd to the outside world.
People with Aspergers Syndrome many times suffer from varying degrees of difficulty dealing with social interactions. Sufferers may have difficulty making eye contact and may monopolize a conversation with unrelated topics important only to them. A person with Asperger Syndrome may suddenly leave the room in the middle of a conversation simply because the urge strikes them.
Impairment of language skills is very often a characteristic of those who suffer from Asperger Syndrome. Language is looked at as a way to not only express information but also emotions and feelings. People with Asperger Syndrome often take language on a very literal level and have difficulty sustaining and initiating a conversations. Those with Asperger's often tend to monopolize conversations with topics that are only related to their special interests.
Children that suffer from Asperger's tend to not have a large range of interests but will focus on a limited amount of interests on an almost obsessive level. These children like to have a set routine and rigid structure in their lives. This structure gives them a feeling of safety and security. Changes in the structure of children with Asperger syndrome may often cause them become extremely upset.
A person with Asperger Syndrome often sees the world through a very narrow focus. They assume the world thinks and feels in the exact same way they do. When communicating they will often say things that may hurt the feelings of others without being aware they are doing it. Physical activities that require fine motor skills such as writing, riding a bike or throwing a ball may also be underdeveloped.
While much is still not known about Asperger Syndrome, knowing and understanding the characteristics can help a great deal in creating tolerance and acceptance. People with this syndrome are often extremely brilliant in their own unique way. In children, one or all of their senses can be affected, resulting in an over or under reaction. Society still has much to learn about how people with Asperger Syndrome see the world. - 17635
