Asperger’s syndrome belongs to the broader developmental disorder category of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This condition is commonly referred to as a high-functioning form of autism. While the symptoms of Asperger’s are typically prominent, they are often less severe than other kinds of ASD. Asperger’s makes it more difficult for people to relate to others and form social connections. Doctors who can diagnose this condition include psychiatrists and developmental pediatricians. Asperger’s symptoms can be managed through a personalized approach. As each person is affected by this condition uniquely, the physician will take various elements into account. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), social skills training, and parent or caregiver education are all components that can be incorporated into the treatment plan.
