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"

Most of the people think that aspergers is a disease but it is actually not so, it is just a condition that is found in many children. This article will give you explanations of a few of the characteristics of aspergers and it will give you some very helpful tips that will help you to manage the behaviors of the children who have aspergers syndrome.

Kids who have aspergers experience many difficulties, the main one being their inability to socialize and communicate with other people efficiently. Most of the kids who have aspergers experience social awkwardness and an all absorbing interest in a particular topic. There are many signs and symptoms of aspergers, some of them are their unusual nonverbal communication, their awkward postures and gestures.

Most of the kids with aspergers will have an obsessive interest in one or two topics such as statistics of a game, weather or interest in snakes. It is very hard for them to understand others and their emotions. It is also very difficult for them to understand humor. And when these children speak they often speak in a monotonous voice and they are rigid and they also speak unusually fast. They will also have poor coordination and many times display odd postures.

As the kids with aspergers cannot deal with the world effectively, they often display challenging behaviors. It is very difficult for them to discontinue these behaviors. For the kids with aspergers, you will have to consider the environmental changes that you need to make during behavioral intervention. This will include things that they think is interesting and provide the things that they think that they would need. Behavioral intervention should also provide the kids with aspergers with a replacement behavior. There are many problems that the kids with aspergers face and it is very difficult for them to overcome most of these problems.

Most of the small kids tend to be egocentric and they will also have a strong interest in particular topics such as dinosaurs or any others characters or they might even be attached to some of their toys, this is no reason to be alarmed. This is very common in this phase. But however if your kid finds it very hard to make friends and has a lot of problems a school, it might be time to consult a pediatrician. There might be many reasons for these difficulties, but you should never rule out developmental disorders such as aspergers.
