Many children have symptoms of Aspergers syndrome, which is a type of autism, though one that allows people to function at a high level. It takes psychological tests to verify if a child has Aspergers even if some of the symptoms are present, so they should always be checked by someone qualified. In this article, we'll be looking at some typical Aspergers symptoms that begin in childhood.
A child with Asperger's will have difficulty understanding the differences in speech that may be obvious to others. People use the tone of voice and pronunciation of a person they are talking with to understand what is being said. Because a person with Asperger's has a hard time processing this information, they won't pick up on the emotional intent of the speaker. When words aren't used literally, like with sarcasm or irony, they won't be able to understand it.
Very often, children with Aspergers will seem to have no ability to relate to others at all. They may seem completely self-absorbed and show no interest in what others think or say. While it's normal for young children to be focused mainly on themselves, as they get older they gradually learn the rules of social interaction, which demand a certain "give and take" with other people.
Most children, for example, are able to sustain at least a short two-way conversation where they listen as well as talk. Children with Aspergers, on the other hand, may completely ignore what others are saying or interrupt them.
Children with Aspergers are also likely to move in an unusual manner, have an unconventional posture and have odd facial expressions. Their movements and body language might seem out of place or even bizarre. In general, their movements and facial expressions are very personal and don't always connect to anything external.
Their facial expressions may seem disconnected from what is going on around them. It's also typical for children with Aspergers to not make much eye contact, and to not smile when others smile at them, or laugh when others are laughing. These last few symptoms are also typical of autism in general, but severely autistic children are more extreme in that they can seldom function at all in a normal environment.
In summary, Aspergers has many symptoms and you have to observe a child for some time time and get the help of experienced professionals to know for sure if he or she has this condition. However, the symptoms we've discussed above may indicate a child has Aspergers, so they should always be checked out.
