For many years, problems of dialogical ego has been systematically described and analyzed by many researchers. The aim of the study is to evaluate the preference expressed by the persons with Asperger syndrome (AS) toward dialogues and monologues. Another purpose of the study was connected with eventual prevalence of ego in the internal dialogues which can be directed to one’s own ego or to the representations of others. This study comprised 22 young persons within the age range 12–19. There was applied modified version of inventory constructed by Puchalska-Wasyl. This method was adapted to the possibilities of subjects with AS. In conclusion, young people with AS more often are ready to realize the dialogues and monologues concerning external relations of their ego.

Autobiographies of people with AS can be a very helpful supplement for the analysis of narrations presented by persons with AS.
