Children can accurately be diagnosed with this type of autism at two years of age. The primary impairments would be social and communication impairments. Children with Asperger …show more content…
Among these disorders is the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which consisting of a distinct group of complex neurodevelopment disorders. ASD usually goes undetected because of the limited social demands along with lack of support from parents and caregivers in early life (ninds.nih.gov). Within the group of complex neurodevelopment disorders, is Aspergers Syndrome, on the higher functioning spectrum of autism.

These characteristics typically remain undetected until the child has enough language and social skills to show that their focus is limited and may have unusual patterns of …show more content…
These children need all the help within each ecological system to help with their development and several delays that may arise along the way.
