My own son, now 14, has Aspergers, which was diagnosed when he was 9!. So we have first hand knowledge of the issues!. You didn't say how old the child is, but in general, younger kids with AS tend to be quick to anger and unable to deal with unpleasant emotions, so they can lash out!. They usually have a terrible time reading the subliminal social signals sent out by other kids so they have peer problems and when young get teased!. They also tend to be very literal, so they sometimes sound like little lawyers saying "You only said I should do X, not Y", even though for 90% of people in the world X and Y are considered together!. It frustrates parents because its hard to believe that the kids aren't just trying to be smart asses!. They really aren't!. I suggest this web site: http://www!.udel!.edu/bkirby/asperger/aswh!.!.!.
Also several books are good such as FREAKS, GEEKS and ASPERGERS SYNDROME which is written by a kid with AS and shows in insight into how they see the world!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Erm!.!.!. I'm pretty sure asperger's is in the autism spectrum!.!.!.therefore, it's basically a mild form of autism!. So I don't see how you could have both--one is a form of the other!.
I'm not getting this from a website, but from what I know, kids--people--with autism can't communicate very well with others!. People with severe autism can hardly communicate at ALL, they're just stuck in their own heads!. Asperger's is, as I said, a mild form, so they'd probably be a bit antisocial, a bit awkward, and so on!. Just google it; you'll find tons of websites!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have Asperger syndrome and can tell you first hand!. The biggest problem is, that NTs (neuro-typical people) don't know how we think!. They expect kids with AS to understand social norms and read between the lines, when that is not possible!.
Kids with AS need to be taught to act appropriately for our society, because they can't just pick up the rules on their own!.
People with AS can't read between the lines, and they don't understand sarcasm!. We understand and believe exactly what is being said!. Which makes us very gullible and easy to trick!.
Kids with AS are the perfect target for bullies!. I was bullied to death (almost literally) most of my life (I am now nearly 55)!. School was hell!. I didn't fit in, because I didn't understand the other kids!. And they hated me and bullied me!.
I absolutely cannot understand why people would want to purposely say and do things that would upset others!. Therefore, when others made fun of me, and hurt me physically and emotionally, I didn't know what to do, since I had no idea what the purpose of the abuse was!. I'd just let them treat me badly and didn't fight back, unless it was a physical attack!. I have six brothers and knew how to punch back!.
The best thing that can be done for a kid with AS is to teach them how to make friends (yes, step by step), what people mean by certain popular sayings, and how to smart-*** people back who tease them (while not being abusive themselves at the same time)!.
Because unless they learn to deal with the teasing, they will be bullied!. Bullies don't like bullying kids that fight back, because they are usually cowards!.
You have to make it extremely clear what you want the kid to do!. I never understood why my mother was never satisfied with anything I did for her!. She'd always get mad, and never praised me for helping her!. I didn't understand until I finally got diagnosed with AS when I was 50 years old!
When I read about AS, it finally dawned on me what my mother REALLY wanted when she told me to sweep the kitchen!. She wanted me to sweep, and wash the floor and clean the table, too!.
But she told me to sweep, and that is what I did!. She'd then come back and criticize me, saying, "Why didn't you wash the floor and clear and wash the table!?" And I'd say, Mama, you told me to sweep, and I did that!. And she'd get mad!. She probably thought I was sassing her, when that was totally not true!
She never understood me, and in fact, never liked me!. She expected me to be somebody I could not be!.
It has been proven that at least 90% of kids with AS get abused by their parents!. I now understand why!. My mother told me every day I was useless, worthless and good for nothing!. While I tried awfully hard to please her, but never could!.
So, rather than looking at a child with AS as a challenge who needs to be 'dealt with', look at the kid as somebody who is different, and needs understanding and love, and help to learn to get around this social 'jungle' out there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
