This module is designed to give you a good general understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome.

Doctors no longer diagnose people with Asperger's Syndrome, instead preferring to use the more inclusive term Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, it is important that you understand Asperger's, or "high-functioning" autism, as people who were previously diagnosed with this form of autism retain this diagnosis.

After this module, you will:

Understand the key characteristics of Asperger’s Syndrome (or "high-functioning" autism)
Learn about disorders associated with this form of autism
Understand the Triad of Impairment
Understand some key theories and research developed by Simon Baron Cohen
Learn techniques to support sensory, perception and anxiety issues
Practice applying understanding to exercises
Be able to explore further resources to enhance your knowledge and understanding

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
