Asperger Syndrome: Traits and OutcomesIrratable Bowl Syndrome
Some of these traits may be more obvious than others. It's also important to consider that autism traits and their expression can be affected by the child's location (e.g., at home or school), as well as who is with them (e.g., friends and family or strangers). Autism traits may...
In clinical practice, the differential diagnosis of Asperger syndrome (AS) versus schizophrenia can be a challenge. Some self-report instruments-such as the Autism-spectrum Quotient (AQ)-have been portrayed as proxies for the diagnosis of AS. However, it has not been demonstrated to what extent...
The abilities to form new concepts from scratch (conceptualisation), and to flexibly switch from one concept to another (re-conceptualisation), were investigated in adults with Asperger's Syndrome and in typically-developed adults with low and high autism spectrum quotients. In consecutively presented...

The questionnaire is not suitable for individuals with low IQ, low verbal ability, or language impairment, as it relies on receptive understanding of the 50 questions. The AQ was originally validated in 2001 in adult males and females with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and high-functioning autism (HFA...
(Rogers et al.2007) reported reduced cognitive empathy in adults with Asperger syndrome, but found no impairments in empathic concern (a process related to affective empathy). A later study by Dziobek et al. (2008) also revealed dissociable deficits in empathic processing. These researchers found...
We found few arguments in favour of the suggestion that AN might be considered as a female variant of Asperger’s syndrome [32]. We observed between-group differences on some but not all the dimensions. Regarding AQ categories, we found that a third of our AN sample shared certain endo...
