The Subtleties of Asperger's Syndrome
Dr. Clatch writes about the more subtle behavioral and emotional developments that sometimes occur in children with AS.
Many children with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) do not display significant delays in the early years of their development. Behavioral and emotional differences in children with AS may manifest in subtle ways that can be difficult for both parents and pediatricians to detect. For instance, children with AS may be unable to easily cope with change. In addition, children with this disorder may not actively seek out social interactions with others, including peers. For many parents, these differences in the child’s behavior may go unnoticed as parents may believe that their child is simply developing at his or her own pace.
