Abstract(s)
O Síndrome de Asperger foi inicialmente descrita por Hans Asperger em
1944. Actualmente é considerada uma perturbação pervasiva do
desenvolvimento. É caracterizada pela difícil interacção social e os interesses e
comportamentos restritos como se observa no autismo, mas o seu
desenvolvimento é marcado pela ausência de atraso clinicamente significativo na
linguagem, capacidade cognitiva, capacidades de auto-ajuda e curiosidade sobre
o meio ambiente.
Apesar de não haver um consenso universal quanto a sua prevalência,
estima-se que seja de 1 em cada 200 a 300 indivíduos. Existem estudos que
procuram a sua etiologia, conseguindo demonstrar certas relações genéticas e
lesões, disfunções e variações cerebrais.
Existem vários critérios de diagnóstico para o Síndrome de Asperger,
apesar de ainda não se ter chegado a consenso acerca do “gold standard”.
Existem atitudes, intervenções e tratamento a realizar nestes doentes. No entanto
não há cura para esta perturbação.
Devido as suas características de personalidade as crianças com Síndrome
de Asperger são alvos perfeitos para serem vitimas de bullying. Há medidas a
serem tomadas para reduzir a incidência destes trágicos acontecimentos com
sérias repercussões.
The Asperger Syndrome was first described by Hans Asperger in 1944. Today it is considered a pervasive development disorder. It is characterized by the difficult social interaction and restricted interest and behaviour as one can observe in autism, but its development is marked by the absence of clinically significant delay in language, cognitive ability, capacity for self-help and curiosity about environment. Although there is no universal consensus on its prevalence, it is estimated that there is 1 out of every 200 to 300 individuals. There are studies that seek its etiology, and demonstrate certain genetic relationships and injuries, variations and brain disorders. There are several criteria for diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome, although a consensus concerning the goal standard has not been achieved yet. There are interventions and treatment to be implemented in these patients. However, there is no cure for this disorder. Because of their personality characteristics, children with Asperger Syndrome are perfect bullying targets. There are measures to be taken to reduce the incidence of these tragic events with serious repercussions.
