Adult Asperger Symptoms are markedly different. This article highlights the more common ones.

Most of the literature available for information on Asperger’s is for kids. This may happen as the origin of the DSM-IV criteria for the diagnosis of this disorder is comparatively very recent.

Hence this disorder was identified in 1990’s, even though it was reported by an Austrian paediatrician much earlier in the year 1944.

The paediatrician originally referred it as autistic psychopathy. In the end this disorder is very rightly named after him subsequent to his death. If we consider the ratio, more males experience this disease as compared to the females.

However, there are various symptoms that differ from person to person. Some of the most prominent characteristics in males include:

1). Typical fields of interest or complete absorption in hobbies, more often than not involving numbers, special patterns and strict rules.

2). Normal to high intelligence. It would be astonishing to know that a few sufferers are mathematicians.

3). Problems in understanding others’ mood swings or may possibly not empathize with others.

4). They may not be able to comfort others or communicate with them due to the lack of empathy.

5). They might also have problems in agreeing with others point of view.

6). They do not understand abstract concepts very well and a typical Asperger sufferer does not take all the conversations literally.

7). They also cannot understand the intellectual forms of humor such as puns or sarcastic comments.

8). They have extreme difficulty in maintaining normal conversations.

9). Dealing with intimate solutions is almost impossible for the Asperger patients. For that mere reason the average divorce rate amongst such patients is around 80%.
