A child with Asperger's disorder is being referred to the mental health clinic along with his parents. To provide the best care for this family, the nurse makes a care plan based on the fact that this disorder differs from autism in which of the following areas?

1. Asperger's disorder, commonly diagnosed earlier than autism, is associated with fewer major problems in interpersonal interactions.

2. In Asperger's disorder, behavior commonly is similar to that of other children with autism but without the problems with school.

3. Asperger's disorder is recognized later than autism, and interpersonal interaction problems typically become more apparent when the child begins school.

4. There are significant problems with language development, as with autism, but there are no delays or difficulties with motor development.
