Im trying to find name of this Austism disorder...?

Question

...where all skills etc are used in one part of the brain instead of all parts (motor in one area of brain, speech in another ex that is normally what a functioning brain works like) sorry I don't know terms but that is the general idea. So, all skills are moved to say left side of brain, affecting skills in a degenerate way but may also heighten other skills.

Answer 1

It might be aspergers syndrome??

Answer 2

Autism is the most widely recognized pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). Other diagnostic concepts with features somewhat similar to autism have been less intensively studied, and their validity, apart from autism, is more controversial.

One of these conditions, termed Asperger syndrome (AS) was originally described by Hans Asperger (1944, see Frith's translation, 1991), who provided an account of a number of cases whose clinical features resembled Kanner's (1943) description of autism (e.g., problems with social interaction and communication, and circumscribed and idiosyncratic patterns of interest).

However, Asperger's description differed from Kanner's in that speech was less commonly delayed, motor deficits were more common, the onset appeared to be somewhat later, and all the initial cases occurred only in boys. Asperger also suggested that similar problems could be observed in family members, particularly fathers.

This syndrome was essentially unknown in the English literature for many years. An influential review and series of case reports by Lorna Wing (1981) increased interest in the condition, and since then both the usage of the term in clinical practice and number of case reports and research studies have been steadily increasing. The commonly described clinical features of the syndrome include:

paucity of empathy;

naive, inappropriate, one-sided social interaction, little ability to form friendships and consequent social isolation;

pedantic and monotonic speech;

poor nonverbal communication;

intense absorption in circumscribed topics such as the weather, facts about TV stations, railway tables or maps, which are learned in rote fashion and reflect poor understanding, conveying the impression of eccentricity; and

clumsy and ill-coordinated movements and odd posture.

Although Asperger originally reported the condition only in boys, reports of girls with the syndrome have now appeared. Nevertheless, boys are significantly more likely to be affected. Although most children with the condition function in the normal range of intelligence, some have been reported to be mildly retarded.

The apparent onset of the condition, or at least its recognition, is probably somewhat later than autism; this may reflect the more preserved language and cognitive abilities. It tends to be highly stable, and the higher intellectual skills observed suggest a better long-term outcome than is typically observed in autism.
