Children who exhibit autistic behavior without language difficulties or significant cognitive delays.
A developmental disorder typically identified during childhood, characterized by stilted speech, challenges in social interactions, and highly specific interests, is known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD typically exhibit normal or high intelligence levels.
Asperger’s syndrome falls within the category of pervasive developmental disorders and is classified as an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is characterized by obsessive behavior, impaired communication, and social skills. Individuals with Asperger’s syndrome may require special educational support, which is often provided within mainstream educational settings. It is important to note that Asperger’s syndrome is a lifelong condition.
Aspergillosis is an infection caused by inhaling spores of the fungus Aspergillus, which commonly grows in decaying organic matter. In healthy individuals, Aspergillus is typically harmless. However, it can thrive in the lungs of people with tuberculosis, exacerbate asthma symptoms, and lead to severe and potentially fatal infections in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those taking immunosuppressant medications.
