Learn all about Asperger syndrome

Asperger syndrome was not understood until 1944. Thanks to an Austrian doctor Hans Asperger called the condition of Asperger syndrome was finally identified to be a lightweight variant of autism.

Unlike autism, however, a child with Asperger syndrome, although having difficulty in social interaction with other children and adults, are still willing to connect, while children with autism are more emotionally desengatadas. Clearly a child with Asperger syndrome behaves and reacts, verify the following:

Symptoms:

Pragmatic language skills are poor-a child with Asperger syndrome may not be able to hit the right tone and volume of voice. I.e., your voice sounds unimpressive or flat so you can't tell if they are mad or glad your tone. The boy can become fixed in a given topic and cause boredom for other people with an endless conversation while other children have given clear signals that they are not.

Difficulty tolerating changes-a notable feature in children with Asperger syndrome is the demonstration of repetitive action. Such behavior includes telling a group of coins or marbles repeatedly or recite the same song or poem several times. They follow certain routines that if you try to change could make them become angry and lost.

Learning challenges-because the majority of children with Asperger syndrome often focus on a certain interest, learn what other things can be rejected. They would remain focused on one thing they want and ignore the rest, until a different idea could get them interested is not likely to happen sans application of appropriate treatment.

Using this method, kid with Aspergers not only learn to interact, but also would learn new interest.

Assigning tasks-this can be done through implementing tasks or even just simple role as drinking milk, or fixing your stuff with the participation of the father. And it is important that each task they performed, recognition is given so that they could be conditioned to follow and interact with you.
