original document of The National Autistic Society (http://www.nas.org.uk/) Does
patients without serious mental health disorders [1] and yet find it difficult to socialize, social style is unusual and it's hard to finish his university course, have no friends and suffer from anxiety and stress and can not find a steady job? If this is true to the best are people with Asperger Syndrome.
What is Asperger Syndrome?
Asperger's Syndrome is a developmental disorder that belongs to the autistic spectrum.
If your patient list is 5000, expect to find between 15 and 20 people with Asperger syndrome (Baird et al, 2000; Kadesjö et al, 1999, Ehlers and Gillberg, 1993) [2].
People with Asperger syndrome have an intelligence that goes from normal range to be above average (although often with irregular scores) and relatively low performance in the areas of sociability.
People with Asperger Syndrome have difficulty communicating effectively with others. They often have trouble talking sometimes seem pedantic, with little understanding of nonverbal behavior of their partner and sometimes have difficulty modulating the tone of voice, facial expression and eye contact.
People with Asperger Syndrome have difficulties when interacting with others, when to have closer relationships with their peers and to know how to read others. Have difficulty in knowing how to behave when in groups or understand the humor of others.
Many people with Asperger syndrome want social contact but are less able to understand the reciprocal nature of social interaction. Consequently their attempts to interact may sometimes seem strange. This can make people with Asperger syndrome are prone to the others laugh at him and isolate him as an adult. Also for this reason the person may appear socially inappropriate.
People with Down Syndrome have Asperger's need to maintain their routines and may have very narrow interests. This may not be obvious unless you ask them about it. The person with Asperger syndrome may depend on others to perform their routine, so unexpected given his apparent intelligence.
Note that adults with Asperger syndrome may have learned to cover up the problems and signs of the syndrome and therefore are difficult to find the necessary support and assistance.
Questions to consider when talking about his patient with adult patients who may have Asperger Syndrome:
• Do you find it difficult situations and interactions to understand or confusing, especially when they are in groups (even when he or she is comfortable in the doctor-patient interaction)?
• Do you often find it difficult to guess what people are thinking or feeling or why they laugh at a joke or joke?
• Have difficulty making or keeping friends?
• Do you have a history of problems at school / college: difficulties in the relationship with your tutor and with peers, being teased me abuse?
• Do you have difficulty finding a job or staying there?
• Do you have hobbies or interests that are concerned long time, especially when they were younger?
• Is uncomfortable or irritated when there are changes, especially when they are sudden?
• Do they show difficulties in communication and social intuition seems to be lacking?.
If the answer to most of these questions is "yes", and the patient wishes to be advised, it may be worth talking to your local social services and the medical team responsible for caring for people with Asperger Syndrome.
Five reasons why it is important to the diagnosis of Asperger syndrome:
• Asperger's Syndrome is a condition recognized and described in the classification system ICD-103 [3] and DSM-IV [4]. If someone meets the criteria will have the opportunity to be diagnosed.
• The diagnosis enables a person to understand what the reason for its past problems, often marked by experiences of disadvantage and misunderstanding.
• The diagnosis enables a person to make the necessary adjustments to its future.
• The diagnosis can also help others, friends, family, carers, to better understand and respond appropriately to their needs and behaviors.
• The diagnosis can help people with Asperger Syndrome find help in your area as well as some working group social skills and get the right support in the various holders in moving
