In February of 2007, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that about one in 150 American children have an autism-spectrum disorder, based on results from the largest study ever performed on the disorder. Asperger Syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurological conditions characterized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communication skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior.
Individuals with Aspergers typically exhibit deficiencies with social skills, reading non-verbal cues (body language), transitions (change in routines), often have obsessive routines, and are highly sensitive to various stimuli, including sounds, tastes, smells, and sights. Most individuals with Aspergers have normal or high IQs, with some exhibiting exceptional skill or talent in a specific area.
Currently, one child is born with autism every 20 minutes in the United States.
