Overview[edit | edit source]
Asperger Syndrome (AS) is believed to be first described as ‘autistic psychopathy’ in German by Hans Asperger.[1][2] He distinguished his cases from autism which later became known as 'Asperger's Syndrome'.[3] In 1981, Lorna Wing published Asperger’s works in English.[4] In 1994, DSM-4 classified Asperger Syndrome (AS) as a subtype in the category of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). In 2013, DSM-5 combined 4 of the 5 subtypes of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) under the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) category.[5]
