* Asperger’s syndrome is a a mild form of autism or Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) * ASD is a complex developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. * Asperger’s is generally thought to affect the area of social interaction. The way in which a person with AS communicates with the outside world is different to the accepted norm. People with AS may lack understanding of social customs and may appear socially awkward. * However, the following quotation gives an indication of the academic potential a student with Asperger’s can have if appropriate support and awareness is in place: "Able autistic individuals can rise to eminent positions with such outstanding success that one may conclude that only such people are capable of certain achievements. Their unswerving determination and penetrating intellectual powers, part of their spontaneous and original mental activity, their narrowness and single-mindedness, as manifested in their special interests, can be immensely valuable and can lead to outstanding achievements in their chosen areas." (Hans Asperger 1944)
