Abstract
Objective: Objective: To analyze the difficulties of early diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome and its psychosocial impacts on the patient's life. Review bibliography: Asperger Syndrome (AS) is initially manifested in childhood, especially between 5 to 9 years of age, however, due to subtle and almost imperceptible symptoms, it is more frequently diagnosed in adolescence or even in adulthood. In addition, the family and/or caregivers play a significant role in this process of discovering the syndrome. Paying attention to the child's routine development, noticing speech delays, lack of eye contact, repetition of movements and peculiar interests are easy to perceive. Seeking an early specialist can bring this initial diagnosis, and consequently, encourage the child to learn correctly. These interventions can significantly reduce socialization and behavioral difficulties, as well as other associated comorbidities. Final considerations: Although it is a subtle pathology and difficult to diagnose, the prognosis of AS is considered positive. If performed early, it would be extremely valuable and are associated with significant gains for the patient.
