Asperger’s Syndrome is one of the autism spectrum disorders characterized in social interaction, in which there are patterns of behavior that are stereotypic. Children with Asperger’s show limitations in activities and interests, but without the delay of cognitive development or language. Asperger is taken from Hans Asperger, a child education specialist who, in 1944, investigated four children who were having trouble in social interaction.

The social interaction of children with Asperger’s syndrome is occasionally described with lacking of showing empathy, frustration in making friends and difficulty in sharing happiness, lack of social or emotional relations or impaired nonverbal behaviors such as eye contact, facial expression, posture and gesture. However, unlike autistic, children with Asperger's Syndrome symptoms are outgoing around others; they approach others even felling uncomfortable with minimum spontaneity and intuition.

Children with Asperger’s show less enjoyment and behavior which is recurrent. They focus on rituals and routines that are not flexible and they obsess to a certain thing such as buying the same breakfast everyday at Burger King. They also show speech and language abnormalities such as verbosity too wordy, and interpret things differently than what is actually said. They often use a metaphor meaning and are deficits in auditory perception. They talk distinctively with oddity in loudness, pitch, intonation and rhythm.

Research found that there is two out of ten thousands children have Asperger’s disorder with the ratio between boy and girl 1:9. They have normal intellectual and many of them are reported to have brain with superior IQ. Some researchers believe that it is genetically heritage while some others reported that it is the effect of drug or medicine that was taken 8 months before conception.

However, they are usually recommended to take part in treatment program which builds on the child’s interests; offers a predictable schedule because they are clumsy and have uncoordinated motor movements; actively engages the child’s attention in highly structured activities, and provides regular reinforcement of behavior.
