This article tries to show why it is necessary to discern the syndrome of Asperger within the scala of pervasive developmental disorders. The basis of the syndrome is a deficit in the possibility of relating to other people. This deficit is not as clearcut s in Kanner-autism and of a different type, which explains why the patient is often misappraised, which leads to a lot of suffering for the patient and his caretakers. The conclusion is, that Aspergers need a different kind of treatment than other pervasive developmental disorders; mainly supportive counseling for patient and parents (caretakers).

In this article the DSM-IV criteria for the Asperger-syndrome and autism are examined, concluding that as a consequence of the excluding criterium that Asperger vannot be classified if autism can be classified, it is virtually impossible to come to the first classification. The question is raised why the criterium of clumsiness has not been included in the DSM-IV, as oppposed to the other classification systems. As things stand now, the authors conclude it is of the utmost importance for clinicians to diagnose patients, and not only classify them, in order to force ourselves to think about treatment possibilities, goals and methods.
