Here we examined the clinical characteristics of AS in 112 adults (median age, 28.0 years [range, 18–52]; 71 men and 41 women: 55 AS group (median age, 27.0 years [range, 18–49]; 36 men and 19 women), 57 control group (median age, 28.0 years [range, 20–52]; 35 men and 22 women) through administration of the Japanese version of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and the Japanese version of the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Scores on the AQ, SPQ, and the ‘Neuroticism’ and ‘Psychoticism’ scores of the EPQ were significantly higher in adults with AS than in controls. The ‘Extraversion’ and ‘Lie’ scores of the EPQ were significantly lower in adults with AS than in controls. The total score of the AQ was correlated with 3 subscale scores (unusual perceptual experiences, odd or eccentric behavior, and suspiciousness) of the SPQ in the AS group, but not in the control group. The findings demonstrated that AQ and other personality scales could be used to elucidate the clinical characteristics of AS in adults.

We examined cognitive profiles of adults with no intellectual disability (IQ > 70), and in adults with Asperger's disorder (AS; n = 47), high-functioning autism (HFA; n = 24), and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDDNOS; n = 51) using the WAIS-III. Verbal Intelligence (VIQ)–Performance Intelligence (PIQ) differences were detected between the three groups. Full Intelligence (FIQ) and VIQ scores were significantly higher in AS than in HFA and PDDNOS. Vocabulary, Information, and Comprehension subtest scores in the Verbal Comprehension index were significantly higher in AS than in the other subgroups, while Digit-Symbol Coding and Symbol Search subtest scores in the Processing Speed index were significantly lower in HFA. The findings demonstrated cognitive profiles characteristic of adults with high-functioning PDD.

We compared the frequency of mental and behavioral symptoms, motor abnormality, and life history between adults with AS and those with no mental disorders but with disturbance of social functions and communication skills (ND) from our outpatient clinic. Participants with AS (n = 99) as compared with ND subjects (n = 63) showed significant higher rate of depressive mood, anxiety, unstable emotion, mood swings, oversensitivity to normal situation obsessive compulsive symptoms, persecutory idea, loss of energy, insomnia carelessness, restlessness, confusion in new environments, episodic agitation, inflexible adherence, egocentric behavior, self harm, circumscribed interest, poor lifestyle habits, non-athleticism, clumsiness, bulling at school, school non-attendance, social withdrawal, and lack of friendships. In AS, emotional instability and confusion in new environments might lead to social isolation. The findings demonstrated that individuals with AS experience greater social isolation and distress, as well as a wider range of mental and behavioral symptoms and disturbances of motor skills as compared to healthy subjects with disturbances of social functions and communication skills. These factors are interrelated and may be used as supplementary methods for differential diagnosis of AS from other conditions.

In the present study, we used multi-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to detect changes in the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration ([oxy-Hb]) during two verbal fluency tasks. The subjects were 20 individuals with Asperger's disorder and 18 age- and IQ-matched healthy controls. The relative [oxy-Hb] in the prefrontal cortex was measured during the category and letter fluency tasks. The mean total [oxy-Hb] during the category fluency task did not differ significantly between the groups; however, during the letter fluency task, the mean [oxy-Hb] in persons with Asperger's disorder was significantly lower than that in controls. These results suggested task-relevant or task-specific prefrontal dysfunction in persons with Asperger's disorder.
