| 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"

Aspergers Teenagers - Support and Advice for Parents
Now for all parents it can be a difficult time when your child hits those teen years. But when your child has Aspergers, teenagers take on even more significance. They are now in the final part of their schooling, prior to them hopefully going into higher education or employment. High school and it's equivalent around the world can be a very dificult time for teenagers with Aspergers - as issues like fashions, cliques, bullying and sexuality can raise their head more and more. Also the strain and stress on both child and parents when it comes to looking at what the future may hold after school.
In this department I offer parents a whole variety of practical and helpful ideas for helping their Aspergers teenagers to find a way through these turbulent years. There is information on schooling, behavioral challenges, future planning, independence, sexuality and a whole lot more.

Children with Aspergers Syndrome usually mature much slower than their typical peers. A difference between actual age and maturity level of as much as 4 years is normal for children with Aspergers. . . .

Aspergers Teenagers - How can I prepare my 16-year-old son with Aspergers for work experience?
One of the best things you can do for your 16-year-old is to talk with him about what having a job would mean in his life. Spend some time asking him about what sort of job he would be interested in. If he has a special interest or a hobby, perhaps he could pursue that interest. If he has an interest in movies, he could find a job in a movie theatre or video store. If he has an interest in video games, perhaps he could find work in a video game store. . . .
