Affected individuals may have difficultly expressing how they feel. Many symptoms can present strongly or weakly in each individual.WebMD: Asperger's Syndrome The most distinguishing symptom of an individual affected with AS is the intense preoccupation in a single object or topic to the exclusion of all others.
