Overview

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a category of neurodevelopmental disorders with problems in social communication/interaction and restricted and repetitive behaviors/interests. According to the Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) released by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 2013, Asperger Syndrome (AS) goes under a spectrum of disorders called 'Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)'. Asperger Syndrome is named after Hans Asperger, an Austrian physician. He was the first to describe and separate Asperger Syndrome from autism and called it 'autistic psychopathy' which later became known as Asperger Syndrome.
