People with AS can have any problem with the main 5 senses.

*People with AS just find it hard to listne to their parents. As people often like sticking to a mental timetable. For example: When they playo n PC, Watch TV, Go in Shower, go to bed. If their parents give them instuctions that go off their mental timetable then they may act naughty and get on your nervous. This is very typical of people with AS. They can’t follow orders and just don’t get whats wrong or right till they’re much older. What people who know someone with AS will have to know is never say to them “act your age” because mentally they can’t.

*Might laugh at other peoples sorrow. Apperently I have this problem. When people are annoyed or get angry a person with AS might find it funny. Put this picture in your head. A child had failed to do their homework and the teacher is very angry and tells them to get on with it. A child may laugh at the teachers expression, thus making the teacher punish them more. The sooner a diagnosis takes place, the better it may be for your child.

There are more symptons with AS and when I can remeber a few more I shall hopefully edit this page to bring a full list.

Now how about diagnosing a child who you suspect may have symptons of Aspergers Syndome above.

This is how my mum diagnosed me and my brother using the same method….

Before she went to the local doctor a couple of weeks ago my mother had written notes on all the strange behavior we have and how it can relate to Aspergers. (She had written several dozen of notes about me). When it came to the doctor my mother typically just read all of the traits I seem to show. This process takes several weeks as the doctor may ask you to survey time now and ask school teacher/ work employers about any problems that they may recognise. Once the doctor/ psycologist has reviewed all the items they shall take IQ tests to see if you have a typical IQ of the AS sufferer. (Don’t ask me the IQ as I didn’t have to take it. Evidence from Mum and teachers got my diagnosed) Then they shall do further testsi n English skills and emotional skills. If you child/person you know fits with AS on the tests the person should then recieve a diagnosis. This process can take upto a year or two to complete but if recieved can help you child/ person you know dramatically.

Hope this post has given you information about AS and how the normal diagnosis takes place. You may ask questions below to me if you want.

For your information… I have been diagnosed with AS only 6 -7 moths ago.

Hope you enjoyed.
