    Abstract:
    Asperger's syndrome is not accompanied with intellectual disability, however it has social impairments as well as autism and demonstrates failure to develop peer relationships according to each life stage. Social reciprocal behavior deficits are revealed typically during childhood. On the other hand, after school age these deficits are modified by environmental factors that may induce secondary disorders consequently. Hypersensitivity and coordination disorder, which are not included in diagnostic criteria for Asperger's syndrome, are often in presence. These symptoms are diminished and rarely interfere daily living as growth. However they may keep Asperger's syndrome individuals from adapting to others, so we need to take it into consideration.
