found: Roy, M. Asperger's syndrome in adulthood, in Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, Jan. 2009, viewed online via PubMed, Jan. 17, 2017(Asperger's syndrome is one of the autism spectrum disorders. Affected individuals display considerably impaired capacity for social interaction, unusual special interests, and a tendency towards ritualized behavior; Asperger's patients usually display a distinctive symptom pattern. Because their ability to intuitively recognize nonverbal signals in other persons is impaired, patients are considerably limited in their social interactions. Their interest in other people is often limited; on the other hand, Asperger's patients typically have "special interests" that may seem unusual because of their subject matter or the intensity with which patients pursue them. Asperger's patients are also often fixated on ensuring that their external environment and daily routines remain constant; sudden changes may exceed their coping mechanisms.)
