Here's what people benefiting from our Aspergers advise are saying ...


"I subscribed to this Community about a year ago in hopes of finding support and sharing experiences with other parents who are also given the challenge of nuturing a teenager/young adult who has been given the two-edged gift of Aspergers.
 
I have found immense rewards of being allowed to be part of this Community - mostly in articles, antedoctal reports from other parents and the always helpful comments and suggestions of Dave Angel.
 
If you think that your family are all alone in this big old world struggling with something you don't understand, the Parenting Aspergers Community is a lifeline."

""Hi Dave, just to let you know and other mums out there, that your website makes you feel your not alone and isolated, I can send a mesage anytime, and help is there very soon, thanks for your help Dave"

"The Parenting Aspergers Community Web site has helped me with my difficult journey as a parent of an Asperger child. It is comforting to know that when I have a question or having a problem with my Asperger son that I have an incredible resource at the tip of my fingers.
 
I can post my question or problem on the Parenting blog for all the Parenting Asperger Community members who have Aspergers children also, to view and respond to my question or problem. Within minutes I usually have some great advice from parents whom have had the exact problem with their child and has given me invaluable advice from their experience.
 
Also David Angel the Founder of Parenting Aspergers Community will always monitor the advice given and give his expert solution on what I need to do to address the problem. I can honestly say that I get more out of Parenting Asperger Community website than what I would ever get from my son's Psychologist or Psychiatrist.
 
This website is an incredible resource and worth the membership fee ten fold! You won't be disappointed but pleasantly surprised at all the website offers. All the best on your journey"

Dealing With Asperger's Syndrome

Printer-Friendly Format

Dealing with Asperger's syndrome can certainly be a challenging job. In order to work with a child with Aspergers, you need to adhere to some very strict guidelines and follow them faithfully for as long as they may be needed. The key to making this successful is to do it regularly and assimilate it to your everyday life. In the beginning, it can be rather difficult to do. However, as you progress, you will notice that things would be a lot easier to handle. In the end, you will have a system that's working and it will benefit both you and the person with Asperger's syndrome for the better. In addition to that, it can also be beneficial to consider natural treatment methods as well as medication. The two approaches can be widely different and can have various impact on an individual. Here are some ways to treat Asperger's syndrome naturally.

Look for a Good Diet Plan

This may seem like quite a small tip, but in the long run, it can certainly work wonders. The diet of a person who has Asperger's syndrome can have a significant impact on their life. When we say a good diet plan, we mean something that is balanced. It will take some time before you determine the essential nutrients that are required for the child. You can try consulting a nutritionist who specifically practices on this area because they hold the most information about this topic. Specifically gluten free and casein free products should be considered as part of any dietary plan.

Encourage Communication

Communication certainly helps a lot in building the basic skills of a child who has Asperger's syndrome. Parent's should always encourage a child to communicate and interact, especially with peers. Building communication and social skills is very important for a child with Asperger's. It will help them become more engaged and enthusiastic about meeting other children, which in turn, will aid their development.

Treat Asperger's Syndrome With Positive Reinforcement

For a child with Asperger's syndrome, we can't emphasize enough trying positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is when a person commends and encourages the actions of another person. Studies have shown that positive reinforcement may not always help a child, but for a child with Asperger's syndrome, it is certainly worth trying. But keep in mind that positive reinforcement must not be used too much. It has to be done in moderation or else it can seem artificial.
