Aspergers syndrome[edit]

Can people with Aspergers socialise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.151.134.202 (talk) 09:39, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As noted in Asperger syndrome, it can be difficult. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 12:00, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See the section Social interaction. Some do socialise readily, but it's often difficult for the other person because the Aspergers person fails to pick up on non-verbal cues that their interlocutor has had enough and wants to change the subject or leave the conversation entirely. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:31, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they can socialize. Note that Aspergers is not in the current DSM. Temerarius (talk) 02:09, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
