International Asperger’s Day aims to highlight the significance of Asperger’s Syndrome for both society and individuals. Asperger’s Syndrome falls within the Autism Spectrum, a key difference is that people with Asperger’s Syndrome typically do not experience a delay in language development. People on the spectrum often find it difficult to read and reciprocate social signals such as body language, facial expressions, and eye contact. As a result, they may find it hard to communicate and interact with others.
