This is a direct result from difficulty reading social situations and cues; understanding one’s own feeling states; and challenges with picking up social learning. You may seek the aid of the many services available to help those diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome to learn social functioning, including: social skill groups speech and language therapy occupational therapy special education services These skills may be learned but know the brain is hard-wired differently than that of a neurotypical. That is why consistent training and practice is very important.

FamilySearch the series of blogs below to learn about the topic of Family Whether family consists of a Mom and Dad, single parent, a grandparent or other raising a child on the autism spectrum, it is important to acknowledge that autism spectrum disorders “happen” to the whole.
