Don’t know how to cope with an Aspergers Syndrome child?
In recent years it has been suggested that there is an 'epidemic' of autism spectrum disorders, since the prevalence of the disorder appears to have increased markedly, with many more children being diagnosed at younger ages, and an increase in the number of children diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. Asperger Syndrome (AS) which is a neurological disorder characterized by poor and lacking of social interactions, obsessions, odd speech, mannerisms and behavior. Children with high functioning autism and those with Aspergers syndrome think better in visual terms. Children with Aspergers syndrome and high functioning autism are both high functioning and, in general, they can all read, write, speak and understand. They usually have difficulty with social interactions. Difficulties with sensory functioning and cannot tolerate certain noises or certain kinds of tactile stimuli are also a part of Aspergers syndrome and those with high functioning autism. Albert Einstein, for example, was felt to have characteristics of Aspergers syndrome, yet he couldn’t speak until he was three years old. Many parents of children with Asperger's worry that their child will never be able to develop strong friendships let alone a romantic relationship that could eventually lead to marriage and children. It’s true that early detection and early treatment are the two key factors in improving prognosis -- but too often parents get bogged down in denial or confusion about this still mysterious disorder, and are unable to take the necessary steps. As a parent of a child who’s got Aspergers, you should take special care and attention towards your child social environments, not only in the home but also in the school. With the school, for example, you must ensure your Asperger Syndrome child’s school has an extensive, in-depth knowledge about Aspergers Syndrome; from the Principal to the Classroom teacher, as well as administration staffs. You should never feel ashamed of your child having this problem. Socially, you should not separate him/her from other neighbouring children and relatives. This “The Parenting Aspergers Resource Guide” is written by an experienced author who has been a social worker with over 11 years real life experience in the field working with families just like yours and a Masters Degree in Applied Social Studies. It is a must read for parents and other family members who have children diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. This ebook will provide you with the very latest information on this disorder, the treatments that are being used, and the effect Asperger's has on the lives of the individuals with the disorder and their families

I was diagnosed with asperger's syndrome in 2003, and had a second, concurring diagnosis in 2004. This was both good and bad. I have always had difficulty with social stuff: It's that small talk thing. I'm clumsy -- not terribly so, but any kind of sports is out of the question. Wind on my skin is very unpleasant. Lots of little things add up to that diagnosis. But I'm not a kid, far from it: I am 60 years old and have had to figure out on my own what works and what doesn't. The big news, is that there are a multitude of benefits of Asperger's in my life. For example: interactions with foreigners is often less difficult than with people from my culture: my social 'unskills' can go unnoticed. A second, and very important realization, was that I could uncouple my expectations of who and what I am from other people's expectations. This truth of life became apparent pretty early in life: many so-called 'normally wired' seem to be, well, a little slow on this realization. Yes, it is difficult, but I've decided to do a little writing about my experiences over at http://adultaspergers.411-source.com/.
