the key with aspergers, is to all ways be your self. You have a condition that cannot be changed so no matter how hard you try, just be your self; and you might find worth-while friends.
I personally cannot understand Neurologically Typical people becuase of things like:- - the ability to be so serious, yet so pretentious. - the ability to think above me in a social situation. - the level of materialism, is just beyond logic. - they are so wired, the determination of having a social atmosphere, when your trying to "relax" is just complex. - the air-headed-ness *no offy to NT people, but just might give a sense* Theres no need to worry, people with AS always get better! You'll of had time to cherry-pick the right people of who you get on with and things just seem good later on. if any AS person needs help: - www.wrongplanet.com |

I have had experiences in my work of young people with AS. There are 3 key areas that people with AS "generally" struggle with. Communication is one key area, this includes inappropraite body language, facial expressions when talking etc.. then there is Imagination, people with AS are often very rigid in their thinking which limits their ability to debate! They also commonly reject normal body contact. The last key area is Socialisation, by this I mean people with AS dont like normal relationships with people that involve body contact etc....
Many people know AS as clumsy child syndrome! which is what initial symptoms are often thought of being. People with AS tend to have probelms with balance, and co-ordination which is where the "clumsy" comes from. High functioning Autistic is another way people with AS are often described as. For all the descriptions though they are just people and as long as you encourage people with AS to be involved then problems decrease! and their feelings of self worth increase. My friends son has AS and Tourettes (not the sweary type lol) and he is a very sweet little boy who simply needs extra encouragement to consider other people. |

I have mild aspergers syndrome, slighly nearer to normal people on the Autistic spectrum.
So I am on the border line with Aspergers, I can sense the way i think is, very computery which is why its sometimes hard to "socialise" but when im in a relaxed mood, and theres a relaxed atmosphere, i can be my self and so on... I dont know about clumsy, that may be people more with Austism. People with AS are generally are very clever (im not boasting) and meticulate, Im studying Architecture and have active creativity, the problem is people with AS think too Much! When it comes to facial expressions, its becuase people with AS are generally very thoughtful and honest (im not boasting), for example, AS people's facial exprssions always shows how there feeling inside and what there thinking. e.g. I frequently get told, im a bad liarer. (im not boasting) A disadvantage of this, im one to know, Is that sometimes, I (and most AS people) say truthful things that may hurt the feelings of others. e.g "You spent how much on that hair-doo?" Uni is alright for me, because there are people who are more intelectual and I can get on with... which is a world away from where I live... North London. Which im really growing to hate. |

Clumsey Schild syndrome is a symptom of Dyspraxia not Asperger, although it is still classed as a neurodiverse condition.

Yeah, my 2-year-old daughter has had developmental delays, I first picked up on it when she was 9 months old. I've always wondered whether she's inherited similar genes to me as I was also delayed at her age, and feel concerned that she might have the same as me or worse - I've heard there can be genetic links, although nobody else in my family has AS or autism as far as I'm aware.

With reagrds to your daughter I would just give it time, try not to be to eager to give her a label! all to often people rush in when really given time and the right developmental support many children end up just fine!
As long as your daughter is eventually reaching developmental milestones I would give her plenty of time and additional stimulation to help her achieve things. She is still so young bless her give it time. I bet she is gorgeoous though! |
