Asperger's Syndrome was recognized as early as 1944, and started to gain attention in the 1980s as the diagnosis was made more clear. It has only been a topic in Taiwan for the last five years. It is a subcategory of "pervasive developmental disorders" along with others such as autism and Rett Disorder.
「亞斯伯格症候群」早在 1944 年就被提出來，隨著病徵界定越來越清楚，1980 年代開始被注意，台灣則直到近 5 年才逐漸有人討論。
