In autistic disorder, there are several different types, that while containing common elements are distinguished. Asperger syndrome is one of them, a disorder involving a lack of empathy for the patient and difficulties in communication, but overall is a syndrome rather poorly studied.

From the Maudsley Hospital in London, a group of researchers has worked fully with this syndrome, comparison with a disorder that has not been thoroughly studied yet, anorexia, and finding items that would involve a problem with another.

Let’s talk numbers. Men are 15 times more likely to be diagnosed with Asperger’s than women, and the latter are 10 times more likely to develop anorexia than men. According to researchers at the hospital, this would not be more than a relationship between the two diseases, and anorexia would be nothing but a form of autism.

As Asperger’s manifests itself in various ways depending on the patient, doctors portray anorexia as a disorder not only food, but a form of Asperger’s, which beyond being a disorder caused by social conditioning, would be inherited.

New lenses to interpret the anorexia that contribute much to the study of this disorder still remains an enigma in terms of their behavior. Particularly interesting is his understanding as a hereditary problem, because their treatment may slow the progression of anorexia in future generations daughters of parents who have it.
