ABSTRACT

Asperger Syndrome (SA) is a pervasive developmental disorder that in spectrum of autism is in the more functional side. This article is about the main criteria for the correct diagnosis of AS. I present a questionnaire designed to help health professionals in their diagnosis. It uses a very simple an accessible language so it can be understood by anyone. In fact, it should be answered by the parents of a child from two years and a half to teenagers.
