Description: This Council for Exceptional Children article discusses the relationship between Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and giftedness in children. The authors give a clear description of AS's characteristics, how to distinguish it from giftedness and how students can sometimes have both traits. There is also a great deal of advice on how parents and teachers can best accommodate these twice-exceptional students.
