Asperger's Syndrome is a form of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It affects the way a person communicates and relates to others, and has some characteristics that are the same as ASD, including limitations in imagination and creative play. Pupils with Asperger's tend to have average to above average intelligence.
