How Is It Different From Autistic Disorder?
Asperger’s Disorder is different from Autistic Disorder in that there are no significant delays in language or cognitive development. In fact, some children with Asperger’s speak earlier than expected, and may have an exceptionally well-developed vocabulary. However, nonverbal skills may be slightly weaker for some children with Asperger’s, meaning they might appear clumsy or awkward, or have difficulty with hand-eye coordination.
