What is aspergers syndrome

disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.[1][2]
Asperger syndrome is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[3] Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but many questions remain about aspects of the disorder.[4] For example, there is doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);[5] partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established.[1] It has been proposed that the diagnosis of Asperger's be eliminated, to be replaced by a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder on a severity scale.[6]
The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.[1] There is no single treatment, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only limited data.[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.[7] Most individuals improve over time, but difficulties with communication, social adjustment and independent living can exist and continue into adulthood.[4] 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.[8]

Very detailed explanation, thank you.

I would not know much in this area, but can certainly keep my ears open if I come across something

Best of luck

my experience of asperger's is that there is this back channel of vocation that is unknown to people like me.  what is called common sense does not scan for us.  how does an "aspy" emigrate?

Do you mean will it make a difference to your visa application or just practically how will it affect the move? Maybe get in touch with the asperger syndrome association of Ireland. If you email them they might be able to give you some relevant advice.

i mean that there is a web of relationships that neurotypicals use to get on in life.  i'm a taurean wood dragon with my north node in 6th house cancer.  working is something i'm proud of. it's never just a job to me.  the problem is all the help wanted adds over here are  written by lifecoaches who live in their parent's basements.  i'm an aspy.  that means you can't pay me to be your friend.  i can't be paid to like you.  i'm not your friend.  i'm a man.  so: how does a friendless aspy emigrate?  i've worked in the volunteer sector most of my life.  there must be something i can do.
