Asperger Syndrome

A good way to support somebody who has Asperger's syndrome is to be their friend. This may sound so simple, but these kids, because of some of their habits and their blunt way of talking to people, can sometimes be a turnoff and it can be harder for them to form relationships, but these kids, even though they are very blunt and forward, they still have really big hearts and they need friendships and relationships just like everybody else. And for you to get educated to understand why somebody with this syndrome acts the way they do can really be helpful as well, so you can best support the person who has it.

So I'm still trying to learn how to support my child who has Asperger's. I think that with this diagnosis is going to come with a lot of learning as you go kind of things and anybody who has Asperger's or has been around somebody who has it knows that each person who has it is completely different than somebody else that you might know that has it. So take it as it comes and find as much resources as you can and therapies are also supposed to be very helpful. I personally don't have my son in a therapy right now. I feel like he is thriving well without it but if that situation comes up I'm not opposed to taking him to therapy and we do have a wonderful therapist that we use and he does actually like to go see her when he needs her.
