What Is Asperger's Syndrome?
4. Asperger Syndrome and Chronic Diseases
While these are not chronic diseases as such, Asperger’s is associated with some long-term conditions. Children with Asperger’s are abnormally active, and when they get to adolescence, they usually develop psychological problems. These include anxiety and depression.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder may accompany Asperger syndrome.
