What can I do to support my child with Asperger Syndrome?
The first thing you need to do once your child has been diagnosed is figuring out what AS means to you. Aspergers presents differently in each individual so it is important to know how it affects you and your life. Identifying the most pressing issues (i.e. sensory, anxiety, emotional management) will go a long way in alleviating frustration or feeling overwhelmed with information developing and starting a plan for intervention and support. You can find much of this information on the internet and in books, many of which are available through links posted on our website. It is also a good idea to seek peer support groups to connect with other adults who have AS, gain insight into the disorder and learn from the experiences of others.
