Question: The challenges of someone who is having Asperger syndrome in their daily life?

Answer: 1. Hypersensitivities (to lights, sounds, tastes, etc.)
2. Difficulty with the give and take of conversation
3. Difficulty with nonverbal conversation skills (distance, loudness, tone, etc.)
4. Uncoordinated movements, or clumsiness
5. Anxiety and depression
The tendencies described above vary widely among people. Many learn to overcome their challenges by building on strengths.

Though the diagnosis of Asperger syndrome is no longer used, many previously diagnosed people still identify strongly and positively with being an “Aspie.”
