this did not help me at all
Dear Allie,
Asperger's Syndrome/Disorder is a type of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (one class of emotional disorders). It influences a child's capacity for relationships and for communication. Such disorders are described in detail in a book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental and Emotional Disorders, which you can likely find in your library. Also, you can find information on the internet, and you might look specifically at the website sponsored by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
