Relationship
For people suffering from Asperger syndrome, it is difficult to make or maintain relationship. This all happens due to their poor social interaction, inability to understand other people’s emotions and communicate appropriately. In order to maintain a relationship, a person must have different skills. However, people with the syndrome have difficulty understanding their own emotions and expressing them adequately. They commonly do not show empathy toward people around them and do not understand how their behavior reflects on those around them. This can particularly make hard for those with the syndrome to start intimate relationship. Due to limited range of imaginative activities and their love of routine, children with Asperger syndrome are usually unable to make a friendship.
