Guide To Potential Asperger's Syndrome Symptoms

Proximity Problems

Individuals with Asperger's syndrome appear to have proximity problems. Most social situations seem to have appropriate distances that individuals need to stand apart or close to one another. Many individuals may know what this distance is without being told.

This may not come as naturally to patients with this condition. They may try to learn through observation. However, they may not see the differences in various situations. For instance, Asperger's syndrome patients may stand too far away in casual conversations. Aside from not understanding, another reason for this may be due to anxiety regarding proximity. Patients may not even realize when they have acted inappropriately.
