Guide To Potential Asperger's Syndrome Symptoms

Formal Or Stiff Speech

Some patients may display formal or stiff speech when they speak. In the past, this syndrome seems to have been diagnosed as its own condition. The criteria appear to have been autistic traits without speech delays. However, even when these individuals do not have speech delays, they may still struggle with talking informally. Asperger's syndrome patients seem to use vocabulary that is too formal or advanced. This may be particularly apparent in casual conversations. It appears to be offputting to others.

Stiff or formal speech does not seem to be intentional. Patients may simply talk in significant detail about topics that they find interesting. They also appear to struggle relating to others. This may impact their speech, as they may also struggle to communicate ideas verbally. Some patients seem to process their thoughts in emotions or visuals. These can be hard to translate into words.

May Miss Social Cues, Jokes, And Sarcasm

Some individuals with this condition may miss social cues, jokes, and sarcasm. This seems to be due to having trouble interpreting tone. Patients appear to take someone else's tone seriously, missing out on inflections. This may be similar to having trouble with tone through text messages or emails. Asperger's syndrome patients do not seem to follow the eye movements of others during a conversation. Studies claim that this may contribute to their issues with tone.

Affected individuals may not watch the faces of others either. This seems to be another contributing factor to them potentially missing social cues. Body language and facial expressions are vital to speech, so missing them may trigger significant issues.
