| 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"

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. And also that all parents worry and speculate how their child will be when they grow up ...
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.

My child with Aspergers is at University level - how to cope with the stress?
For the young adult with Asperger's, university living often means living away from home for the first time. This is a big step for everyone in the family, especially if a great distance is involved. What a scary transition for parents and student alike. The stress you are feeling has to be overwhelming. Your job as protector and encourager has been stretched to the limit and your child may not even be aware of the strain you are experiencing. . . .

Aspergers Adults - What can you tell me about Aspergers and Guardianship?
Sometimes parents have to continue to make important life decisions for their adult children. Medical disabilities, emotional or mental disabilities, and developmental disabilities are all valid reasons for continue parental involvement. Guardianship does not seem to be common for families living with Aspergers Syndrome. It is much more common in families of adult children on the lower functioning end of the Autism spectrum. . . .

Aspergers Adults - How can a parent help an adult child with Aspergers function in today's world?
The parents of adult Asperger's children are key to the successful independence of the child. The years of offering support and fighting for appropriate services and education pay off when they see the child has become an independent, contributing member of society. In cases of late childhood or teen diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, parents will find themselves learning about the condition along with the nearly grown child. . . .

Aspergers Adults - Have children with Aspergers had careers in the military?
It is not difficult to find individuals with an Asperger's military background. They tell the stories, just like any other soldier, of military action and missing home. Some also mention the difficulties of social interaction within their unit or how the regimented schedule appeals to them. It is odd, however, to find individuals with Asperger's Syndrome who have . . .

Aspergers Adults - How to help your adult child with Aspergers find meaningful employment?
As a parent of an adult child with Aspergers, employment and independence are goals you have been anxiously awaiting. Due to the spectrum of possible strengths and challenges, you cannot be sure how your child will function in the adult world until that time arrives. The possibilities range from certifiably disabled to completely independent and individually functioning. Most young adults with Aspergers will fall somewhere in between or towards the top of the scale due to the basic nature of this condition... . . .

Aspergers Adults - I have an Adult son with Aspergers, any tips for life skills?
Independent living is the goal every parent has for their child with Aspergers. Life skills are best learned over time and chances are your adult son has the basic knowledge he needs in order to live a successful adult life. However, living independently is complex and takes a lot of work, planning, and support, from the individual and his family. You may find that your son is capable in many areas of life skills, but lacking in others. You can help him gain valuable skills, and in time, independence... . . .
