About Asperger Syndrome
Approximately 30% to 50% of our Adults with ADHD have Aspergers (according to the latest research).
There are many people with Asperger syndrome in the world.
You cannot tell that someone has Asperger syndrome by looking at them.
Asperger syndrome lasts for all of a person’s life. Some people know that they have Asperger syndrome when they are children. But sometimes people do not know they have Asperger syndrome until they are older.
People with Asperger syndrome can do a lot of things and learn a lot of skills
Adults with a GP in Kingston can be referred to Your Healthcare for an assessment of possible Asperger syndrome (autism spectrum disorder).
