| 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 Health Issues
For a child or young person with Aspergers, health issues can be very significant. On example of this is interaction with doctors, dentists, hospitals etc. Many children with Aspergers find it very difficult to meet with medical professionals for even routine check ups, let alone significant surgery. Add to this medication issues, and at times poor diet and exercise, then you can see whay this ares deserves some major attention.
In this department I am going to outline practical plans and ideas for parents to help their children with Aspergers. Health issues are so important so this department aims to make this area a little easier for parents to cope with.

I have noticed that my child's skin color goes pale before difficult days. Why is that?
Children with Asperger's Syndrome carry around a lot of stress, anxiety, and frustration due to the characteristics of the condition. The lack of social awareness and communication skills, inflexibility, and obsessive nature all contribute to this frustration. Imagine living in a world that you cannot understand that moves too quickly, changes too much, is too noisy, and too bright. Sounds overwhelming, does it not? . . .

Has changing a child's diet really helped treat Asperger's?
For thousands of parents of children with Asperger's, diet controls and eliminations are a reason to rejoice. The benefits of changing a child to a special diet far outweigh the added work and expense. While not a cure for Asperger's Syndrome, special restrictive diets can eliminate symptoms that are aggravated by food allergies or sensitivities. You can find personal testimonies from families affected by Autism on the Internet, in books and magazines, and at your community's Autism support organization. . . .

What are some of the natural alternative treatments that can be used to help with Asperger's?
Many families choose natural biomedicals, vitamin and mineral supplements, and other homeopathic remedies to combat Asperger's. Treatments such as these can be a bit controversial even though several research studies and trials have proven that they are beneficial for some children. Trials show that many of these natural remedies improve the symptoms of Autism in as many as half of the participants. That may not sound very promising, but a 50% chance of improvement sounds pretty good to a lot of parents. It could make all the difference in the world for your child. . . .

Aspergers Health Issues - Aspergers Sleep Strategies
Sleep can be complicated for people with Aspergers. Unfortunately, sleep disturbances tend to start at a very young age and remain a problem over the years. When the parents of a typical child lament the struggles of a poor sleeper, they can eventually look forward to a time of restored rest. This is not always so for the parents of a child with Aspergers. It often takes planning, perseverance, and some serious strategizing to find that restful state. Common sleep strategies include . . .
