    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The comorbidity between Asperger's syndrome and affective and anxiety disorders seems to be meaningful. Therefore, it is presented a revision of the most recent scientific literature to provide empiric data with the aim to set out a research prospective. DEVELOPMENT: Assessment and diagnosis of the psychosocial performance confirm a meaningful proportion of cases with affective and anxious symptomatology, being converted into disorders some of them. CONCLUSION: It is necessary a better diagnosis because the affective and behavioural disturbances can be hidden as Asperger's syndrome and high-functioning autism associated symptomatology. Identify and recognize this comorbidity will improve the psychosocial capacity of these persons.
