Different pervasive developmental disorders impair the three developmental areas to greater or lesser degrees depending on the PDD type. Asperger’s symptoms, for instance, cause less impairment than classic autism.
Asperger’s syndrome is a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) on the autism spectrum. If you understood that definition you probably already know a fair bit about Asperger’s syndrome and autism. If you’re still confused you’re certainly not alone: the exact nature of Asperger’s and its place on the autism spectrum is a matter of debate even amongst autism and Asperger’s syndrome experts.

Asperger’s Syndrome and the Autism Spectrum
What is a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)
It’s common to visualize the autism spectrum as a straight line [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with classic autism at one extreme and “milder” disorders such as Asperger’s syndrome and high functioning autism at the other extreme, closer to “normal” development.
Asperger’s syndrome does not impair communication as severely as classic autism. Many Asperger’s children have remarkable vocabularies for their age. Asperger’s effect on communication manifests in social situations. Difficulty reading non-verbal cues, tone of voice and a tendency to take things literally are all aspects of Asperger’s communication impairment.
Restricted areas of interest are a common symptom of pervasive developmental disorders. In severe autism this may manifest as an overriding attachment to a specific object. Aspies tend to focus on an area of interest to the point of obsession. A child with Asperger’s may develop an interest in buses, for instance, and memorize every bus number and route in town. He or she may also be able to recite the makes and model yea of every bus in the fleet.
Limited Interests and Asperger’s Syndrome
Pervasive developmental disorders are grouped together and referred to as autism spectrum disorders. The “autism spectrum” describes a wide range of PDDs whose symptoms all cause some degree of impairment in social skills, communication and behavior.
Asperger’s Syndrome is one of the “milder” autism spectrum disorders. Unlike classic autism, where the individual displays an almost complete removal or disinterest in society [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], most Aspies want to be social and make friends, but their impaired social development interferes with their ability to socialize “normally.” (Aspies, by the way [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is the term some people with Asperger’s syndrome use to differentiate themselves from “normal” or “neurotypical” people).
The restricted interests of people with Asperger’s are mixed blessings. Many Aspies
To understand what an Asperger’s diagnosis means you have to know a little about pervasive developmental disorders and the autism spectrum. A pervasive developmental disorder, or PDD, is a lifelong neurological disorder that impairs three key areas of development: social skills, language and communication, and behavior.
Although an effective way to demonstrate the relationship between Asperger’s and other PDDs, a linear view of autism spectrum disorders oversimplifies issues. A wide range of symptoms and symptom severity occurs within every PDD, and one pervasive developmental disorder tends to blur into the next. There are no cut-and-dried diagnoses on the autism spectrum. Two people with Asperger’s syndrome can have significant differences in the severity and presentation of symptoms.
