[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 351941, member: 1550"] Hi. Actually, the best therapy for Aspergers is help with social skills, speech (even if they have a good vocabulary they have trouble holding give-and-take conversations), and, if needed, PT and Occupational Therapist (OT). And YOU need to learn how he thinks. There are many books on Aspergers. If he has it, he will always have it. My son is still quirky and different at 16, but he's a great kid. He doesn't have the same interests as most kids his age and has no interest in hanging out in malls or checking out girls or going to parties, but he's doing well in school, getting his driver's license, and is not a behavior problem. If anything, he follows rules too much and gets upset if anyone breaks any! Intervetions can happen for free at school, but you need to nail the diagnosis. (I'd go to a neuropsychologist). I can't see a psychiatrist understanding Aspergers. Most don't. Even psychiatrists often don't. It's a neurological problem, not a psychiatric problem. Some kids go to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) therapists to help them understand life as behavior of "typicals" can be very confusing for them! Just like their behavior can confuse us. [/QUOTE]
