Asperger’s Syndrome in Gifted Individuals

Lynnette M. Henderson

Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is a pervasive developmental disorder on the autism spectrum characterized by social deficits, relatively normal language and cognitive development, and the presence of idiosyncratic interests. Repetitive speech or actions and pedantic speech, often concerning the person’s intense interests in a restricted subject matter, and clumsiness may co-occur (Myles & Simpson, 1998, Klin, Volkmar, & Sparrow, 2000). AS may occur in gifted individuals.
