   Asperger, a developmental disorder, mimics autism. Allen was exhibiting the classic symptoms - intense and narrow interest in specific topics, sophisticated vocabulary that makes children sound like little professors, clumsy movements, and socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior that makes it difficult to interact with peers.
