Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given statement is incorrect. People with Asperger's syndrome do not necessarily have an IQ of 70 or below. Additionally, while individuals with Asperger's syndrome may exhibit some level of abnormalities in language development, narrow interests, and inflexible behavior, this is not always the case for every person with the condition. Finally, the concept of neurodiversity is centered around the idea that neurological differences should be recognized and celebrated rather than pathologized. As such, it would not be accurate to imply that those with neurological differences like Asperger's syndrome are inherently abnormal or inferior.
