[12] Unlike autism, Asperger's has no substantial delay in language development.

[1] Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function. The mainstay of management is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness. [9] Most individuals improve over time, but difficulties with communication, social adjustment and independent living continue into adulthood. [7] Some researchers and people with Asperger's have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that it is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.
