 TESTIMONIALS

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"

Communication - How to improve your child's communication skills and your ability to communicate with them

Communication is essential for every family in day-to-day life. But having a child with Aspergers can make communication much more difficult and complex; which causes a lot of problems unless it's addressed.

 

The Communication Department will give you the tools to better communicate with your child who has Aspergers.

Aspergers Communication - How can I help my son with Aspergers to express his feelings?
Aspergers Communication - How can I help my son with Aspergers to express his feelings? Most people confuse communication with speech. In reality, communication is said to be as much as 80% non-verbal gestures and facial expressions. This is what makes communication so difficult for children with Asperger's Syndrome. They are quite capable of speech, often above average. The non-verbal part has them stumped. . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - Since my girl with Aspergers was only diagnosed 7 months ago and her behavior is ingrained (resistance to change, inability to speak to peers, teachers, etc.) and she's only spoken to her therapist once in 10 sessions, my biggest challenge is getting through to her so that we can move forward. What advise can you give?
Aspergers Communication - Since my girl with Aspergers was only diagnosed 7 months ago and her behavior is ingrained (resistance to change, inability to speak to peers, teachers, etc.) and she's only spoken to her therapist once in 10 sessions, my biggest challenge is getting through to her so that we can move forward. What advise can you give? Getting through to a child with Asperger's can be a challenge. Children can be stubborn and depending on the age of your child, behavior can be ingrained and hard to change. If you feel you've reached a point with your daughter where you feel stuck, it might be time to consult your physician or therapist. . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - How do you know when an child with Aspergers honestly understands what "talking back" means? Also, do AS young adults tend to talk "under" their breath (making comments that are not appropriate when confronted about a behavior etc.)?
Aspergers Communication - How do you know when an child with Aspergers honestly understands what "talking back" means? Also, do AS young adults tend to talk "under" their breath (making comments that are not appropriate when confronted about a behavior etc.)? Children with Asperger's typically have a difficult time understanding how conversation and social interaction work. While neuro-typical children might develop a sense of what is an appropriate thing to say in a certain situation, children with Asperger's have a very hard time with that . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - Is it true that a mood phone has been designed to help people with Aspergers understand better in telephone conversations, and how does this work?
Aspergers Communication - Is it true that a mood phone has been designed to help people with Aspergers understand better in telephone conversations, and how does this work? In 2006, a college student won a scholarship contest by coming up with the concept for a mood phone. This mood phone concept uses mood-interpreting algorithms to pick up on the speech inflections of the user and flash different colors to show different emotions. . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - Communication/comprehension is a big problem (understanding what is meant by others in conversation).  How can I help my child with this?
Aspergers Communication - Communication/comprehension is a big problem (understanding what is meant by others in conversation).  How can I help my child with this? Asperger's is interesting in that it is the only group on the autism spectrum in which language is acquired normally and a good vocabulary is not unusual.  Some young children with Asperger's have difficulty using pronouns, such as . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - The "no" word!
Aspergers Communication - The "no" word! I have a behavioral issue with my 8 year old son that I just do not know how to handle. As long as everything is going his way, he is fine, but . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - How can I understand the way my son thinks?
Aspergers Communication - How can I understand the way my son thinks? Children with Asperger's Syndrome may have underdeveloped areas in the brain that cause problems in: communication, learning appropriate social skills and responses, understanding the thoughts and feelings of others, and focusing on "the real world," as opposed to becoming absorbed in their own thoughts and obsessions. . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - How can I relate to my daughter in a way which doesn't cause a flair-up?  She has said to me, "I don't understand you, mum, it's like you are talking a foreign language!"
Aspergers Communication - How can I relate to my daughter in a way which doesn't cause a flair-up?  She has said to me, "I don't understand you, mum, it's like you are talking a foreign language!" To a young lady with Asperger's Syndrome (AS), you are speaking a foreign language. She does not understand when you talk about social interactions, other people's emotions and motivations, why she should do or not do certain things, and much more. She also cannot read your body language and will have difficulty understanding your facial expressions. Is it any wonder why she says you are speaking a foreign language? . . . keep reading
Aspergers Communication - My son with Aspergers is often rude in the way he talks and we can't get through to him that this is not acceptable. How can we teach him to speak more appropriately?
Aspergers Communication - My son with Aspergers is often rude in the way he talks and we can't get through to him that this is not acceptable.  How can we teach him to speak more appropriately? Children with Asperger's Syndrome can be concise and literal in conversation to the point of rudeness. This is a very common problem. Some are able to . . . keep reading
