Asperger's syndrome is one of the [[autism spectrum disorder]]s (ASD) or [[pervasive developmental disorder]]s (PDD), which are a [[spectrum disorder|spectrum of psychological conditions]] that are characterized by abnormalities of [[social interaction]] and communication that pervade the individual's functioning, and by restricted and repetitive interests and behavior. Like other psychological development disorders, ASD begins in infancy or childhood, has a steady course without remission or relapse, and has impairments that result from maturation-related changes in various systems of the brain.<ref name="ICD-10-F84.0">{{cite book |chapterurl=http://www.who.int/classifications/apps/icd/icd10online/?gf80.htm+f840 |date=2006 |accessdate=2007-06-25 |title= International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems |edition= 10th ed.

Differences Between DSM-5 and DSM-IV Classification

In DSM-IV, Asperger Syndrome (AS) was one of the 5 subtypes of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) category (which included: autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Rett syndrome). In 2013, in DSM-5, a category called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) was created by combining 4 of the 5 subtypes of DSM-IV's Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) category (autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and childhood disintegrative disorder).[1][2]
