Youth with Asperger's Syndrome

Duncan is different from other teenagers. Sometimes people think he acts like a robot, with stiff movements and a flat voice. Other times, he does or says the wrong things and ends up in trouble without ever realizing why. He doesn't really get jokes. He likes words to mean just one thing. Duncan has Asperger's syndrome, a condition that's often considered to be a high-functioning form of autism. Young people with this condition interact with their worlds differently from others their age. But that doesn't mean they don't have much to offer!
