- Abstract
The article discusses the case of an adolescent with XYY and comorbid Asperger's disorder. Before his assessment, his behavioral difficulties were considered by consulting medical and allied health practitioners as a result of XYY chromosomal syndrome due to multiple assumptions based on stereotypes. According to the article, the case reflects the importance of considering the presence of an autism spectrum disorder in identified cases of genetic syndromes.
