Study Results

Background/Objective: Researchers have traditionally reported that individuals with Down syndrome possess a strength in their social development, yet the opposite occurs with Asperger’s syndrome. Based on this premise, we sought to assess effectiveness of the social skills training program. Method: Thirty adolescents aged 11 to 14 years with Down syndrome and Asperger’s syndrome participated in the study. Results: Significant differences between both groups were detected in the posttreatment measures and a connection was found between adolescents’ learning potential and the benefits gained. Conclusions: The training program is effective at improving the social skills under evaluation in adolescents with Down syndrome; however, this benefit is greater among adolescents with Asperger’s syndrome.

Conduct Disorders

Firesetting in children and adolescents is commonly associated with other antisocial acts that comprise conduct disorders. Asperger's syndrome is a rare pervasive developmental disorder. In the case presented we argue that the firesetting arose from the disabilities inherent in Asperger's syndrome. This also indicates that antisocial acts may be symptoms in other psychiatric syndromes as well as a specific conduct disorder.

Skills Training

A síndrome de Asperger é um transtorno do espectro autista que cursa com comprometimento da socialização, da comunicação verbal e não verbal e da flexibilidade cognitiva e comportamental. A abordagem dessas características pelo treinamento de habilidades sociais (THS), baseado na terapia cognitivocomportamental (TCC), visa melhorar a qualidade de vida e reduzir alguns sintomas psiquiátricos nesses pacientes. Entre as dificuldades abordadas estão: 1) a compreensão social; 2) as regras de interação social e as expectativas interpessoais; 3) a conversa recíproca; 4) o uso e a interpretação das condutas não verbais; 5) o autocontrole; 6) os comportamentos estereotipados e os interesses obsessivos; e 7) a formação de amizades. O presente artigo é uma revisão crítica do tema.
