39、tism (孤独症). Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities.

40、ople with Aspersers, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, music or art.When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Aspersers were worsening.

41、 study more advanced subjects, like math and physics.Jakes mother asked an astronomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class.
