Well be patient with a person who has that asperger's syndrome. cause their is a medicine for but it a sign it come from the father or mother. so you can read up on more about this. it a balance in the brain that doesn't wont to work. some people are born with it don't know they got it.

Try not to ridicule your friend or alienate him/her for their lack of understanding. If you want to take the time to explain things to the friend, then YOU will have a friend for life.


A:

Since, Asperger Syndrome is called a developmental disorder, not a mental illness and most adults with Asperger Syndrome can learn how to make friends, do useful work and live successful lives.

I am pretty sure that the treatment lies in sticking with a friend, being patient and telling him/her repetitively on how to behave with the people he/she encounters. Before doing that. you need to make sure that you are in his/her good books and also you shouldn't feel bad or loose hope if the person suffering does not behave with you properly. If you don't think that you have the patience to do the same, you should leave the person alone.


A:You treat them with the same respect and civility as you would anyone else.

They tend to have lesser social skills and can react a bit more to erratic behavior but you shouldn't be afraid of them at all.

Asperger's Disorder is typically viewed as lying along the higher intellectual functioning end of the autism spectrum. With that in mind, children with Asperger's typically find comfort in repetition and patterns. Allowing a child to have strong consistency in his/her environment will usually decrease feelings of anxiety and allow the child to function a little better. One of the primary features of Asperger's lies in the lack of social understanding. Basically they just don't pick up on the nonverbal cues and typical social interactions that are second nature to others.

Some basic ways to help the child improve adjustment and functioning levels include: social skills training, relaxation training, encourage social interaction in non-threatening environments, and again consistency. Any change, no matter how small, can create major anxiety for a person with Asperger's Disorder, so try to develop a routine with the child and discuss any changes in routine before they occur. Try to keep in mind that the child is not trying to be difficult. Many children with this disorder realize they are different and would very much like to be "normal". Help the child develop strengths in other areas and provide gentle reminders when social skills are obviously lacking.

For your own mental health, be sure you take breaks when you need them, spend time doing things you enjoy, focus on positive aspects of the child, and remember to have a sense of humor. Try not to become immersed in the disorder, every child is unique and will display slightly different patterns of behaviors. Learn what works for your child and expand upon that knowledge through trial and error. Help your child understand himself and learn to self-regulate.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

That depends on the age of the child.

We "Aspergians" prefer facts and have not much use for the discussion of feelings. We are usually very curious. If you want to introduce Asperger's to someone, you want to have plenty of information with you when you do it. The first reaction of the child, regardless of age will be "oh." The second will be to challenge the accuracy of the statement. You must explain in detail all of the reasons the diagnosis was made. Read through symptoms lists. Do not argue i fthe child disagrees, you will cause a meltdown. Instead, leave plenty of information around the house for self-initiated purusal and eventually a perceived "self diagnosis" will occur.

Keep a positive attitude about Asperger's. Most people with AS feel like it gives them clarity of thought, an ability to analyze and think outside the box. Read about famous people with Asperger's and watch movies that do not paint AS'ers as deranged psychopaths or "broken", such as the recent movie about Temple Grandin.

Accept the child and his/her autism. Be glad the child is who they are.

That's how you tell a child he or she has autism. With information, love, and acceptance.

You need to find a therapist who specializes in these disorders, as well as asking your son WHY he acts the way he does.
