There are a lot of different symptoms of autism and there are verying degrees to which it can develop, but one of the milder forms is Aspergers. Aspergers usually just manifests as a difficulty in understanding people's facial expressions, which creates social awkwardness.
People can, of course, have compound issues, and it isn't unusual for a person to have other mental disabilities if they also have Aspergers. |
