My friend’s child was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. What is it?

Asperger’s syndrome is a disease that is grouped into the spectrum of Autism. It is similar to other types of Autism, but in this syndrome their language development is normal, although they do struggle with social language, such as understanding sarcasm. They will frequently have hyper focus, meaning that they are only focused on one thing, that they involve their entire life around.
