Asperger Syndrome

Congratulations to the pioneers who have formed Asperger Manitoba Inc. (AMI), to provide a better understanding of and treatment for those with Asperger Syndrome.

Asperger syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder which is included in the autism spectrum disorders. Individuals with Asperger Syndrome often need extra support in achieving their potential within the educational system.

- Creative thinkers with exceptional skills or talents in specific areas such as memory, art, music, or math.
- Have great attention to detail and often thrive on routine and repetitious tasks
- Have unconventional problem solving abilities
- Have an ability to focus on topics of interest for extended periods of time
- Are punctual, reliable and have low sick time.
