Aspergers is a form of Autism. People with Asperger's Syndrome are on the higher end of the functional spectrum. They usually have normal language skills, but lack emotional empathy. Their main problem is dealing with people socially. Usually these problems are first noticed when a child begins school. A child can have all the signs of Aspergers, or only a few. Here are some of the common signs of Asperger's Syndrome (Aspergers Syndrome). 1. Child has a hard time talking to other kids. Kids with Aspergers Syndrome have a difficult time going up to someone and starting a conversation. 2. Uses words that are very advanced for their age. The Aspergers child may speak words that adults would use.
4. Have very limited and very specific interests. A child with Asperger's Syndrome may only want to focus on one thing. They may develop an interest in puzzles, and then only want to do puzzles, all the time. They will often learn everything they can about one subject - becoming "experts." But that will be the only topic they focus on. 5. Resist changes in their routine. This can be hard for a child starting school. They had a routine at home and now that is being changed. The same situation, in reverse, can happen during breaks in the school year. They have gotten used to going to school and suddenly they are staying home for a few days or weeks. This is a common problem of Autistic children. 6. Talking a lot. Children with Aspergers usually talk a lot. They will speak whatever is in their minds at the moment, whether it is appropriate or not. Most of the conversations they have are one sided. It may look like the child is talking to you, byt they are really talking at you. 7. Problems making friends. Kids with Aspergers have trouble making friends due to their inability to relate to the other children. They may try too hard to make friends and scare the other kids away. 8. No eye contact. Children with Aspergers usually will not look you in the eye when speaking. This is another common trait of an Autistic child. 9. Repetitive movements. Repeating a movement like spinning around, or bouncing back and forth while sitting are common events. These movements are calming to the Aspergers child. 10. Problems with speaking. The Aspergers child may speak very fast. They usually do not stop to see if the person they are talking to is paying attention. Their tone of voice is flat, there are no inflections. It does not change to show emotions. 11. Problems with movement. Children with Aspergers often have trouble with their coordination skills. They maybe considered clumsy - as they are always tripping or stumbling over their own feet. They may take a long time to learn how to ride a bicycle. Asperger children have the most positive outcome on the Autism spectrum. They have high intelligence and develop language skills. They can often be taught the social skills, they need to get by. If you notice any of these signs in your child mention them to the doctor. Early training can help overcome difficult social moments later on in school.
