Abstract

Asperger syndrome (AS) is a disorder on the continuum of autistic spectrum disorders characterized by a lack of social reciprocity and empathy, and severe difficulties in social integration. Controversy remains as to what constitutes AS and whether it should be declared a separate disease or higher-functioning autism. This review discusses the contributions made by Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner in first delineating the condition, and examines the syndrome's incidence, prevalence, and etiologies. Recent studies using neuroimaging are described, along with current diagnostic and treatment options.

摘要

阿斯伯格综合征（AS）是一种自闭症谱系障碍，其特征是缺乏社交互动和同理心，在社会融合方面存在严重困难。关于阿斯伯格综合征的构成以及它是否应被视为一种单独的疾病或高功能自闭症，仍存在争议。本文综述了汉斯·阿斯伯格和利奥·坎纳在首次描述该病症方面所做的贡献，并探讨了该综合征的发病率、患病率和病因。文中还介绍了近期使用神经影像学的研究，以及当前的诊断和治疗选择。
