Assessment under a Psychiatrist can help the child. A child psychiatrist is the ideal however this may not be always possible. 2.What are the common problems faced by a child afflicted with Aspergers syndrome? The main difficulties faced by a child with this disorder manifests in poorly developed conversation skills, expression and non verbal communication. Victims do not possess adequate emotional intelligence to handle social interactions. They appear clumsy and confused, therefore end up being marginalized amongst peers. Group activities are a cause of anxiety to victims. The adjectives of eccentric, strange or queer fit them to a T. This leads to aggression and resentment and many of them withdraw into their own world. Many of the victims also suffer associated mental health problems like anxiety disorder, depression or Obsessive compulsive disorder. Some children portray learning problems as well. Frequently Asked Questions3.What are the challenges faced by an Aspergers syndrome child in school? How does it affect the child? Behavioral problems lead to unpleasant experiences in school.

Posted on: 12/30/2011 Hi, is there such a thing of being "borderline" Aspergers?
I do have a lot of the traits and symptoms of a person with Aspergers, but except for a few and one major one, and that is the fact that I am over emotional. To the point where I can't control them. But everything else seems to fit into my personality and my confusion to everyday situations. Cretin things that I touch hear and drive me out of my mind. I snap uncontrollably at people when cretin things are said to me, like trigger words. I sometimes go into uncontrollable rages if the wrong thing is said, I end up moving objects across the room that take four people to move. But yet I would never touch the person who triggered me, I end up feeling a large amount of my anger is more frustration. Frustration that I don't understand and why don't they understand.
I have never passed a test over shear anxiety, and always seem to be at my worst in these situations. I find bliss in the repetitive. And am not quite social, the few friends I have say I'm weird, or the didn't like me when they met me. But seem to love me as I am quite honest and caring.
I feel like I am odd and there is something wrong with me, and after watching the film Adam. I feel like that's me.
I recently did a test online, and I know they are mostly incorrect. My score inferred that I was on the border, it came down to 2 and I'de be a candidate for Aspergers.
So am I being silly or is it possible?

Posted on: 10/23/2010 Hi Prema, Your question is answered below; Chris and Gisela are consultants on Asperger Syndrome [AS] to the new Fox Searchlight Pictures film "My Name is Khan". Shibani Bathija, who wrote the screenplay for the film, along with director Karan Johar, used their book, as well as interviews with us, as the basis for the film's central character, Rizwan Khan. Rizwan is played by the acclaimed Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, and the leading lady is Kajol. While on subject, I would like to add that we have been happily living with our AS son for the last 29 years. We would like to form/join a support group in India for persons with AS. |
