have:

non essentials

others

The most important difference
between ASD and Syndrome of
Asperger
• They can learn to a certain degree
explicitly
• They can compensate because of their
(high) normal intelligence
• They can tell their problems if we listen
and ask the questions in the right way!
Some issues and pitfalls:

• Avoiding behaviour
• Very good in using their enviroment for
their own benefit
• They use their knowledge and verbal
‘power’
