Asperger syndrome is a neuro-biological communication disorder affecting key aspects of social awareness and interaction, language, usage and sensory integration. It is characterized by challenges in understanding how to interact socially. Most Asperger individuals are intellectually bright, visual learners who think in pictures. If you are interested in volunteering to facilitate or assist in some way, please contact Kathleen Britto at Kathleen.britto@loudoun.gov.
