Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Context:

  • Diagnostic challenges in differentiating Asperger's syndrome (AS) from personality disorders (PD).
  • Methodological issues including temporal course (developmental vs. cross-sectional) and diagnostic system variations.
  • Scarcity of developmental data for adult patients with AS.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the differential diagnosis between Asperger's syndrome and specific personality disorders.
  • To explore the overlap in symptomatology and diagnostic criteria.
  • To examine antisocial tendencies in Asperger's syndrome.

Summary:

  • Differentiating AS from PDs like schizoid, schizotypal, borderline, anankastic, and avoidant types presents significant clinical challenges.
