Asperger’s disorder is a separate Autistic Spectrum disorder which does not meet criteria for other Pervasive Developmental Disorders or Schizophrenia. Features of this disease are severe and sustained impairment in social interaction and the development of repetitive patters of behaviour, interests and activities and significant impairment in social, occupational and other important areas of functioning. Because there are no significant language delays or cognitive deflects, Asperger’s is considered as a form of highly functioning autism
