Asperger Syndrome

Like A Square Peg In A Round Hole: someone who does not belong in a particular situation. This well known phrase is also in Beverley Knight’s song Square Peg and I really do feel like that at times!

I have Asperger Syndrome – I am getting upset at the lack of understanding of Autism and Aspergers.
Aspergers is a difficulty that affects the ability to have conversation face to face or on the phone. It is more common in boys but girls can get the symptoms too. Some of these can be worked around with techniques.
I have mild Aspergers (AS), which means that not all of the symptoms that are associated with it are that prominent.

History of Asperger Syndrome

AS can affect the ability to have conversation face to face or on the phone. It is more common in boys but girls can get symptoms too. Some of these can be worked around with techniques. The guy who diagnosed the syndrome back in 1944 was Hans Asperger and he described sufferers as ‘little geniuses’ as they often spoke about their specialist subjects and sounded like they knew everything about it, which they did.
