Charleston Asperger’s Syndrome Disability Lawyers

Asperger’s Syndrome lies on the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum. It was first identified in 1944, but did not become a formal diagnosis until the 1990’s. As a result, misinformation about Asperger’s Syndrome is still widespread. Despite what some people believe, it is not simply an issue of children who are poorly disciplined. It is a lifelong condition that can be difficult to live with.

The Charleston social security lawyers at the Steinberg Law Firm want to help people coping with chronic conditions receive the assistance they need. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, call us at 843-720-2800 to learn how we can help.

What is Asperger’s?

The autism spectrum consists of different but related conditions that can affect a person’s ability to form social relationships. Of these disorders, people with Asperger’s generally have the best chance of developing the skills needed to live alone. The symptoms of Asperger’s include:

• Difficulty understanding facial expressions or other emotional cues
• Impaired ability to form friendships or romantic relationships
• A tendency towards repetitive behaviors
• Obsessions with certain topics or objects
• Difficulty expressing thoughts or feelings clearly

Asperger’s cannot be cured, but there are behavioral treatments that can help people with this condition improve their social skills. However, some people with Asperger’s remain unable to fully support themselves, even after receiving treatment. Our Charleston social security disability lawyers are committed to helping disabled people receive the support they need.
