Asperger Syndrome, Does Anyone Have As Or a Child With It? Posted: 07-22-05 13:15pm
I have a 17 year old stepson that live
with us and has as. I would love to have
some input from someone that has as or
advice from a parent that has been through
this. His social anxiety, ocd, and
attitude have us on overload. His
behavior is just so unreasonable sometimes
that I have such a hard time figuring out
when it is involuntary or he is just being
difficult. I realize that as is a
nuerological disorder but it definately
has effects on his mental health. I would
appreciate any information that you could
share. Thanks

I Have Asperger Also, And My Friend Son Also Have One. Posted: 11-03-05 00:43am
As people say similer people attract to
each other, me and most of my friends has
one form of asperger or another.
My friend has 9 years old boy, this is
what she do ,
she give special massage to activate some
parts of brain, give calcium, because
people with asperger usually has calcium
deficiency in their brain, her child
always sort of difficult child from birth
she say , but it has improved quite bit
with thos etwo thing and other therapy she
go to, most of therapy is done by
occupasional therapist , here in orange
county , ca there are lot of specialist
who know asperger and high function
autism. Even though it is sort of new
subject.

I have asbergers and I mostly learnt ways
to get around it,
a good one is occupatonal therapy, that
really helped me,
another is to get his attention on
somthing like playing a game or doing
somthing with him to grab attention to
him, but then again I had all therapy when
I ways young and I dont know how well it
would work but worth a shot.
The effects of the asbergers on mental
health, is a long as there are no really
bad obssesions he should be fine, and many
signs of it may be clouded by the
asbergers so you got to be careful, hope
tis helps in any way.
