Children with Asperger’s syndrome tend to have no rational thinking, particularly as they get older. That’s because they view the world surrounding them in a definitive manner and lack social creativity. A child should be able to use social imagination to perceive humor, non-verbal social communication skills, and finish another person’s sentence when they understand the entire situation. Those activities would be impossible for kids with Asperger’s syndrome to complete.
Kids with Asperger’s syndrome may also be inconsistent in their ability to engage in, give and take social interactions. Even if the child may facilitate interactions, they are usually considered to be “on his own terms.” From the outside, these children seem rather egocentric and may be solely concerned with their own wishes, needs, and desires. They can appear quiet or withdrawn at times, with little social drive. This means they can’t communicate with other children their own age due to fear of rejection or the seriousness of the disorder.
Therefore, these children cannot learn social codes. They do not learn by observation or repeated verbal reminders. They do not deliberately disregard or violate the rules, but they have a tough time correctly interpreting their social environment and do not realise why a specific rule applies to a specific social event. An instructor, for example, should remind a child with Asperger’s syndrome that he cannot force other children. He may be reminded before leaving for recess, but once outside, the child may push several other children.
