Abstract
Although the prevalence of Asperger syndrome (AS) is increasing, many children and youth who exhibit characteristics associated with this disability are not diagnosed until their later years. Because early intervention appears to be critical for individuals with AS, it is important that educators, families, and physicians have a comprehensive understanding of this complex exceptionality. This article, in an attempt to meet the aforementioned need, describes the characteristics of Asperger syndrome and the symdrome's impact in the home, school, and community.Keywords
