Nurturing Your Asperger’s Child
You have discovered that your child has Asperger’s Syndrome, like many other children. Asperger’s is on the “autism spectrum,” which means that a child can be a little bit autistic, or odd-normal, or a lot autistic and quite impaired. Asperger’s is somewhere there between the extremes. Now that you know this, you want your child to move toward the more normal end of the spectrum. If you work with him and bolster his self-confidence, you may help him become more normal. If you don’t help him, the world will drain his self-confidence.
