Aspergers Research Paper

Aspergers is a higher functioning form of Autism although some may have it worse than others. This is more common in boy than it is in girls. When having this condition people may have a hard time talking or socializing with people they aren’t close with or don’t share the same interests with. Kids with Aspergers usually show interest in specific topics such as superheroes, cars, insects, pretty much anything. They also enjoy things like television, video games, tablets, phones, basically anything with a screen. With a screen usually comes bright lights and loud noises. People with Aspergers don’t enjoy either of these things so to keep them safe from it use sunglasses and noise blocking earmuffs.

They have a hard time socializing with

people so to help them with this is to practice at home. Teach them basic social skills like how to start a conversation and how to make eye contact. Once they become comfortable with someone they are close with it should be easier with other people. Another way to practice social skills is to make up a social story so they know what to do when approached or to make it easier for them to approach someone. A social story is a creation of everyday situations and how to act or what to do during it. When the child gets the things down tell them they’re doing it correctly. This will encourage them to do it outside of the house because they know they’re doing something right. This can help to see what you’ve got to work on.

Children with Aspergers also like to have a set schedule or rules because it makes it easier for them and they get less confused. They better understand things when explained directly to them and styled for how they learn. Most do better with verbal teachings and assignments. I’ve noticed if you explain something to my brother, Ryne, who has Aspergers then show him how to do the task it works much better. He can be very rambunctious at times but to calm him down my mom or step-dad have to talk to him in a stearn state but it sometimes doesn’t work because people with this condition people have trouble understanding certain tones in voices and reading facial expressions. You also may notice they make odd facial expressions. The best way to help these children are to take things slow with them and make them feel comfortable.
