ResumoThis article provides a synthesis of recent literature on Asperger Syndrome (AS), a condition that has received little attention in American special education. The analysis addresses the syndrome's history, definition, differential diagnosis from other Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs), screening procedures, and emerging educational interventions. Implications for special education practice, including the need for screening students at risk for AS and informing parents about a potential disability, are discussed.
