| 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"

How to help your child become more independent
The ultimate aim for all parents (regardless of their child having a form of disability or not) is to slowly increase their independence over time to allow them eventually to become independent young adults. For children with Aspergers this can be a more complex challenge but none the less is achievable.
In the Gaining Independence department I offer real life strategies and solutions to help you as a parent to improve your child's independence skills across the age range from young children to teenagers and young adults ...

Aspergers Independent - How do I help instill confidence in my son with Aspergers as he continues to grow? (He's a young adult now.)
Kids with Asperger's Syndrome can definitely struggle with a lack of self-confidence. These kids are targeted by their peers in so many ways. They sometimes come across as 'too good', needing strict adherence to rules. They can also be highly intelligent, causing them to be labeled as 'brains'. Sometimes clumsy, kids with Asperger's are just different enough that the other kids at school resort to picking at them. Bullying is a huge problem for kids with Asperger's. Add in the inability to make good social connections and you have a definite risk for low self-esteem ... . . .

Aspergers Independent - How can I help my son have a life outside of home?
Teens with Asperger's Syndrome often lack confidence about getting out into the world. Sometimes they stay home too much. A lot of the skills that are developed in the teen years are social and emotional skills, but teens with Aspergers develop them later than other teens. That causes reluctance to go out and face the world. The world is a difficult place for young people with Aspergers. Store clerks may be rude or impatient, crowds make Aspies feel out of control, and there is always the fear of making embarrassing mistakes. But, in order to get a life outside the home, your son has to . . .
