Summary/Abstract: The article concerns children with Asperger’s Syndrome, i.e. one of the autism spectrum pervasive developmental disorders. Asperger’s syndrome is characterized by such symptoms as social interaction disorders, inability to work in a group and difficulties in non-verbal communication. These symptoms have a major impact on the functioning of students with Asperger’s syndrome among their peers at school. The article explains how to reduce the problems of a child with Asperger’s Syndrome by shifting a significant part of his/her activity over to the Internet. Communication via the Internet may be a chance for better social interactions of people with Asperger’s syndrome and progress in their education.
