Abstract

On the forensic-psychiatric relevance of Asperger’s syndrome Based on the case of a violent offender with Asperger's syndrome, the typi¬cal issues in criminal forensic psychiatric assessment and the diagnostic challenges in the context of autistic disorders, especially with regard to the differentiation from personality disorders, are presented. The case study makes it clear that the disorder can contribute to acts of violence if early di¬agnosis and appropriate developmental support are not provided. Adequate support for those affected is of crucial importance (also in terms of criminal prognosis).
