I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty that may remain.
The first step in treating Aspergers in children is identifying the symptoms. Although it has become quite common these days even doctors aren't quite sure what causes it. Watch out for these symptoms in your children.
Differences in speech that most people take for granted are hard for a child with Asperger's to understand. Tone of voice and word pronunciation are key factors that help someone understand what a person means when they're talking. Because a person with Asperger's has a hard time processing this information, they won't pick up on the emotional intent of the speaker. Humor where words aren't used literally, such as irony or sarcasm, will be difficult for them to understand. Another symptom to be aware of is unusual sensitivity to light, sound or other sensory input. They may appear not to like the sunlight, loud noises and smells. They will likely refuse to eat a food because of its smell or texture. Where many kids won't react to sounds shapes or odors in their environment a child with Aspergers probably will. It is extremely important for the parent and teachers of the Aspergers child learn what disturbs them most and how best to deal with it. There are a few ideas that can be used in treatment to modify the behavior.
Some of the normal manifestations of Aspergers among children could make the parents or teachers imagine that the child is stupid, although in other instances the opposite can also be true. Kids who have Aspergers could have a massive vocabulary or might be fairly knowledgeable about a particular interest or subject in school. As an example, it's probably they speak with formal and technical sounding words which can at times make people feel distressed, especially their peers. In this instance, it's probable they sound more like a teacher or professor than a young kid, particularly when they are talking about a topic they find interesting. While this can either hilarious or bothersome to others, it typically makes them more obvious. This is one possible Aspergers symptom, and is not true of all kids with this condition.
Because of the many symptoms of Asperger's syndrome, children can display quite different symptoms. The symptoms a child exhibits and the parents preferences will be used to determine how the condition is treated. However, these symptoms may indicate other conditions, as well, so you should have your child checked out by a professional to diagnose the condition.
