Welcome to the Essential Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome Newsletter!

15th January, 2009 - Posted by admin -

I hope to introduce you to Aspergers’s Syndrome, and give you a understanding of how it can be managed.

If you or someone your know suffer from this condition, it is important to know all you can in order to best understand and combat it!

In today’s first email, we’re going to give a general overview of Asperger’s Syndrome, but in subsequent email newsletters, you can look forward to learning about:

• The history of Asperger’s
• The causes
• How it is diagnosed
• The treatment options available
• Family concerns
• and many other aspects of this condition.

Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) is not something you have to go through alone–researchers estimate that as many as 36 out of every 10,000 children have AS. Both male and female children can have this condition, although it is much more common in boys.

Although this condition was identified more than 60 years ago, there is still no single known cause of this disorder or cure for it.

However, because of people like you, who take an active interest in learning more about this condition, there is hope!

AS is a very complex developmental disorder. Children with this condition are normal or above average when it comes to intelligence. They also have no or few speech problems.

However, children with AS show difficulties in three main areas:

• Social Abilities
• Communication Skills
• Behavioral Characteristics

The most important thing to remember is that this condition is very difficult to diagnose unless you are looking for it.

Many children, unfortunately, go undiagnosed every year, and some are even misdiagnosed, as children with attention deficit disorder or other behavioral conditions.

AS can also be found alongside other medical conditions in children making it even harder to diagnose.

Some common problems children with AS are found to have include, but are not limited to:

• Tic Disorders, like Tourette’s
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder
• Depression
• Bipolar Disorder
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

AS itself is part of a family of disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders, or PDDs. These are also called Autistic
Spectrum Disorders in many English-speaking countries.

While there is no known single cause, it is known that there is a genetic link with AS, so if someone in your family has this
disorder, it is more likely to be passed on.

Okay, this is just the start of what we’re going to cover over the coming weeks.

If you decide that you’d like to get on the “fast track”, and give yourself more of an in-depth Asperger’s Syndrome education, then I recommend that you check out some more advanced information.

I reviewed an electronic manual called The Essential Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome, based on extensive research into Asperger’s.

I absolutely guarantee to you that this is NOT your usual “Dry, technical or clinical textbook”.

This is key information for anyone wanting to understand more about Asperger’s and the treatment options currently available.

Like I said, I reviewed the The Essential Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome based on what I’ve learned…and the information included really WORKS.
