Asperger’s Syndrome

阿斯伯格综合征

In the last issue I talked about autism spectrum disorder(ASD), and this time the topic is Asperger’s syndrome. It is very similar to autism, you can even see it as a form of autism.Asperger’s syndrome is often thought of a mild form of autism, there is no real difference betweenAS and ASD. Actually, it masks the core problem through extensive learning and compensatorymeasures.

上一期主题我谈论到了自闭症谱系障碍，这次的主题是阿斯伯格综合征。它与自闭症十分相近，你可以把它看作自闭症的一种。阿斯伯格综合征通常被认为是轻微的自闭症，它与自闭症也无实际上的不同。其实他只是通过大量学习和补救措施掩盖了核心问题。

阿斯伯格综合征

Many people with autism, including those with Asperger's, do not see it as a disorder. It istrue, however, that this disorder does not require treatment, but they do need support. Support is notthe same as treatment. Some patients may have problems with school, work, and family, andsupport is a great way to help them. The support varies depending on the person's personality orpresentation, etc. Then the earlier these patients can be diagnosed, the better support can beprovided to them, which also allows them to better perform social activities or daily living skills.

许多自闭症患者，包括阿斯伯格患者，他们不认为这是一种疾病。不过这种病症确实不需要治疗，但他们需要支持。支持与治疗是不一样的。一些患者可能在学习，工作，家庭中产生问题，而支持则是很好的方法去帮助他们。根据不同人的性格或表现等，支持的方式也与所不同。那么这些患者能够越早的诊断出来，就可以提供给他们更好的支持，这也让他们更好的进行社交活动或日常生活技能。

In conclusion, this disorder does not require treatment, but families need to give themsupport. These may improve the symptoms.

总结来说，这种病症不需要治疗，但家庭需要给予他们支持。这些都可能改变症状。
