Syftet med denna studie var att via föräldrarnas iakttagelser av sina barn beskriva unga personer med Asperger syndrom. Vi har haft som mål att undersöka på vilket sätt åldern för diagnosen påverkat barnens/de ungas situation. Vi ville även belysa hur barnens/de ungas relationer med jämnåriga gestaltade sig under skoltiden och under tonårstiden. Dessutom ville vi undersöka vilka stödinsatser som barnen/de unga erhållit från samhället. Studien baserar sig på intervjuer med föräldrar till unga personer med Aspergers syndrom, samt på litteraturstudier.
