Asperger Syndrome (AS) which we also know as Asperger’s is when a person, child or adult has difficulties in significant social interaction and or communicating non-verbally which is a sort of developmental disorder.
They will also show signs of repetitive or restricted patterns of interest and behavior.
It does show as a mild form in the spectrum of ASD but not to the full extent as they can and may show signs of normal to mild language and intelligence behavioral traits.
Usually lasting for the persona whole life, it usually starts showing signs at the age of two to three and can include small signs on clumsiness and unusual usage of languages though this is not a required sign for this type of diagnosis.
