Chelation: Aspergers Syndrome
admin
Aspergers Syndrome is a developmental disorder much like autism. First documented in the 1940s by Austrian physician Hans Asperger, the syndrome affects its patients social and cognitive development. Aspergers is typically marked by higher-than-average intelligence and is frequently dubbed high-functioning autism. Because the disorder is developmental, children who suffer from it eventually develop Adult Aspergers Syndrome.
Doctors remain unsure about the causes of Aspergers, but believe there is no single culprit in its onset. Rather, there are various possible physical triggers that can affect the brains development in a manner consistent with the syndrome. Science is certain, however, that Aspergers does not result from any sort of emotional deprivation.
What Are the Symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome?
As with autism, Aspergers Syndrome impairs an individuals ability to develop social relationships, perceive nuances and nonverbal cues, and think in an abstract manner. This does not mean that Aspergers sufferers are anti-social, unintelligent, or uncreative. To the contrary, many Aspergers patients demonstrate remarkably high IQs and high levels of originality.
For many patients, the difficulty lies in interpreting human behavior, especially as directed toward themselves. Consequently, it can appear that those with Aspergers are insensitive, which is seldom the case. The symptoms of Aspergers can often resemble everyday eccentricities, so it is important that the syndrome be accurately diagnosed. It is also important to remember that Aspergers sufferers are not consciously trying to be different.
