Help for Adults with Aspergers
As I am sure you know this website is exclusively for parents of children with Aspergers. However I know for a fact that many of the parents who contact me for help have children in their late teens and twenties.

So I have added this department to outline some of the issues, problems and solutions for adults with Aspergers. Many are very similar to those for children but obviously certain things do change for your child when they enter adulthood. So it's on these differences that this department will focus.

In reality, most people would be far happier with less if they could spend their days chasing their dreams instead of dollars. People with Asperger's Syndrome spend their time concentrating on personal interests. This can be useful when it comes to finding a job ... . . . keep reading

How can I decide how to provide opportunities for independent adult living?
The goal in life that everyone strives for is independence. We all want our children to be independent, making their own plans and decisions. We offer excellent guidance and support from a very young age to prevent as much struggle to learn basic social skills and coping strategies as possible. As our children grow up, we must take the steps necessary to help them achieve the ultimate goal of independence ... . . . keep reading
