Asperger Syndrome

Asperger Syndrome is an Autism Spectrum Disorder, and is often considered a milder version of Autism. Children with Asperger's Syndrome generally don't have the speech delay of someone with Autism, and tend to be very intelligent.

Individuals with Asperger's Syndrome work hard to try and fit in with their peers, often pretending to be something they are not. They are very intuitive, and love learning about the world. Some are great in science, and most are very inquisitive.

It can be hard to form a bond with a child who has Asperger's Syndrome if you aren't able to take special consideration for their unique needs and abilities. Some are unable to express their feelings in the same way that other children do, and find it difficult to tell you exactly what is on their mind.

Although it's important for parents not to push their child, it's also very important for them to encourage their Asperger's child to communicate what is on their mind. Without this ability, they can become very closed in, and feel like their's no avenue for them to get out what's on their mind.

The most important part of any relationship with an Asperger's child is to ensure that you let them know you care about them, and that you don't judge them. The more accepted the child feels, the more likely they are to communicate, open up and feel good about themselves.

Children with Asperger's Syndrome can have a great future, providing that are they given the opportunities they need to excel very early on. They should be engaged in activities that encourage them to come out of their comfort zone.
