Signs and Symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome
Children can begin to show signs of Asperger's syndrome by the age of 3. However, because most children with AS are of average or above average intelligence, the condition may not be noticed until later. When a child begins to develop socially and is placed in a school or playgroup setting, symptoms of Asperger's may become more apparent. In some cases, AS is not diagnosed until adolescence (especially in girls).
