Asperger's symptoms range from very mild to the very severe. Though, the most prevalent sign of Asperger's is a great deal of difficulty in coping with social situations.

The child with Asperger's syndrome can learn to live a pretty regular life, as their language is normal and they are very intelligent. Though social situations are very difficult for them, they would often make a greater attempt to interact and fit in with others.

As every case of Asperger's is different because of each kid being different, one set of Asperger's symptoms is not present in every child. Asperger's symptoms usually present themselves when the kid is quite young at approximately three to four years of age. This is the time in their lives where they may start preschool and be amid several other kids socially.

Common Asperger's symptoms include:

1. The child's need for routine in his life. The Asperger's kid becomes distraught when there is a change. He craves stability and thus routine is soothing to him.

2. Trouble in reading other people's body language. It is confusing to him, as he is unsure of the meaning of other's words and actions. Social cues are not readily recognized by the Asperger's child.

3. The lack of understanding of other individuals' feelings.

4. Staring at other people or to the other extreme, avoiding eye contact, as it makes him uncomfortable.

5. Focusing on one or just a few interests. He'll then take that interest to the extreme and become "specialist" on the topic. Many Asperger's kids are highly intelligent and express interest in unusual topics that don't particularly interest other children in his age group.

6. Facial expressions are one of a kind, as is their stance.

7. Lack of expression in speech or a monotone sounding speech pattern. Will often misinterpret what other people are saying, as recognizing the tone or pitch of other's voices is hard for them to distinguish. Might often take offense at something someone says when none is intended.

8. Speech may be formal, unusual or advanced for the Asperger's child.

9. Normally speaks what is on his mind and will talk endlessly on certain subject matters. Tends to verbalize readily.

10. The kid with Asperger's is often sensitive to light, sounds and fabric.

11. Motor development might be disturbed. May be awkward in normal, everyday skills, such as holding utensils or playing sports.

Having one or two of the above Asperger's symptoms is usually not a cause for concern. If the child exhibits many of the above symptoms with the addition of difficulty handling social situations then more information and aid ought to be sought by a medical professional who could work with him on modifications in behavior, and even other significant treatment.
