Isn’t this basically the meaning of the word ’syndrom’? There exist symptomps, which are standardized descriptions for biological issues. Then there are syndroms, which describe common collections of symptomps. Asperger syndrom basically means Asperger noticed a cluster of symptomps recurring together, and they looked a bit like a lighter variant of Autism. If we were sure they are always to be treated, and we had an orgaized idea about how, it would be a disease and not a syndrom.
