Asperger syndrome is a condition related to autism and commonly referred to as a form of "high-functioning" autism. The term was coined by Lorna Wing in a 1981 medical paper; she named it after Hans Asperger, an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician whose work was not internationally recognized until the 1990s. Non-autistics possess a comparatively sophisticated sense of other people's mental states. Autists do not have this ability, and the individual with Asperger's can be every bit as "mind-blind" as the person with profound classical autism.
