Individuals with Asperger Syndrome, a type of autism spectrum disorder,
often exhibit distinct behavioural issues. These can include repetitive
behaviours, such as hand-flapping or rocking, and strict adherence to routines.
Changes in routine can cause significant distress and anxiety, leading to
outbursts or meltdowns.
Another common behaviour is an intense focus on specific interests or
hobbies, sometimes to the exclusion of other activities. This intense focus can
make it challenging to shift attention or engage in broader conversations.
Socially, individuals with Asperger Syndrome may come across as socially
awkward or insensitive. They might struggle with understanding social norms and
exhibit behaviours that seem inappropriate, such as speaking bluntly or not
recognizing personal space. Additionally, sensory sensitivities to lights,
sounds, or textures can lead to overstimulation and resultant behavioural
responses like withdrawal or agitation.
Behavioural interventions and support strategies, including cognitive
behavioral therapy and structured environments, can help manage these
behaviors, improving overall functioning and quality of life.
