Autistic Spectrum Disorder
An Autistic Spectrum Disorder is a genetic disorder where there are three defining characteristics, (the Triad of Impairment)
- Severe communication impairment.
- Lack of imagination – autistic people tend to follow fixed ritualistic routines being resistant to change.
- Limited ability to form social relationships.
Aspergers Syndrome is an Autistic Spectrum Disorder with similar characteristics, which will include lack of physical co-ordination. It is generally considered to be at the higher end of the spectrum, particularly in terms of verbal communication and social functioning.
