How can you help cure Asperger's Syndrome?
At present their is no 'cure' for Autism or Asperger's Syndrome. However there are a few treatment that have shown extremely promising results. Firstly, Social Stories for older children permit for some with AS the learn age appropriate responses to situations. For younger children a new DVD series called the 'The Transporters', manufactured in Britain with assistance from the British government has shown that children with Autism and Asperger's especially caught up with their peers as far as emotional understanding in a little over one month with a daily viewing There is very little in the way of support out their for adults with AS unfortunately however there are a few blogs and books that can be of use these include, 'Life with Aspergers' (Blog) and Dr Tony Attwood sites, his personal site Tony Attwood.com and O.A.S.I.S. (Online Aspergers Support and Information Service). Both of which can be found by google. There has been quite a few so called break-throughs regarding autism, including the now famous vaccine-autism link. It is highly recommended that these 'break-throughs' be regarded with a pinch of salt. At current the neither CDC nor the FDA recognises any medication based cure or treatment for Aspergers Syndrome however drugs like Ritalin may be proscribed for ADHD like behaviours.

How do you know if you have Asperger syndrome?
If you are an adult and need an official diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, find a professional who has experience diagnosing Asperger's Syndrome in adults. Most professionals do not have experience with adults with Asperger's Syndrome.If you do not need an official diagnosis, check the list of characteristics at an autism or Asperger's Syndrome website (or the related question "What are the signs of Asperger's Syndrome?" in the section below), discuss it with family for their feedback, and decide for yourself. There are many people who are self-diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome. It would not be official or conclusive, but it could help you and your family better understand the situation. Two books I would recommend for general information about Asperger's Syndrome, which might be available at your local library, are:* The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome (2007) by Tony Attwood * The Oasis Guide to Asperger Syndrome: Advice, Support, Insights, and Inspiration (revised 2005) by Patricia Romanowski Bashe and Barbara L. Kirby Be aware that most books on Asperger's Syndrome are written for parents of children with the condition, so I recommend reading the descriptions and reviews before purchasing them or first perusing them at a bookstore or library. I recommend these two because of the wealth of information about characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome and for covering various other important aspects such as what is known about the cause and methods that have been tried as treatments.I also recommend reading through the diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome, although some experts believe the official criteria need refinement. If you do not fit one aspect of the criteria, do not assume the diagnosis is ruled out, but do not neglect considering alternate diagnoses. Also, although you might feel that you do not meet one of the criteria, your family might think it describes you perfectly, so be sure to ask.One activity that has caused some people to realize that they have Asperger's Syndrome is reading an autobiography of a person with Asperger's Syndrome, realizing that they relate to the experiences of that person and the way that person looks at the world. Here are a few of those - ones I have - but there are many others:* Freaks, Geeks, and Asperger Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence (2002) by Luke Jackson * Congratulations! It's Asperger Syndrome (2003) by Jen Birch * Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism (2004) by Dawn Prince-Hughes * Thinking in Pictures, Expanded Edition: My Life with Autism (revised 2006) by Temple Grandin or other books she has writtenLuke Jackson was thirteen when he wrote his book, but you might be able to relate to his issues with Asperger's Syndrome during adolescence. Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a child, but now it is suspected that she has Asperger's Syndrome instead.I know of two fiction books featuring protagonists with Asperger's Syndrome (or autism) with whom a person with Asperger's Syndrome might relate:* The Speed of Dark (2004) by Elizabeth Moon* The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time(2004) by Mark Haddon I have included links to the home pages of a few organizations that provide information about Asperger's Syndrome. These sites provide information such as the characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome, obtaining diagnoses, current research, adult issues, recommended books, and related disorders. For links to more specific pages, check for related links under a more specific question, such as "What are the diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome?" For links to more home pages of organizations, refer to the question "Where can you find information on Asperger's Syndrome?"

Who is a good doctor for Asperger's Syndrome?
Dr. Tony Attwood! But unless you live in Australia, you will have to settle for buying his books! Lol! I'm unclear if whether you are asking what kind of doctor is good for those who have Aspergers, or if you are looking for a good doctor... But I will do my best to answer, either way... Typically a psychologist who is experienced with autism would do an evaluation and diagnosis. A Psychiatrist would prescribe any medication. (Although there isn't any "medicine for autism", those on the spectrum almost always have issues with depression and/or anxiety, due to feeling like a fish out of water... Other diagnoses like ADHD with the Aspergers may mean other kinds of medication, too.) Some go to occupational and "speech" therapy, although those are professionals, not doctors. The schools have a diagnostician, who has a degree in psychology with other schooling in things like special education. Adults (and kids, in my opinion actually benefit very much from something called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This helps the Aspie change the way they feel about themselves, by changing what thoughts trigger which emotions. (You think about something, which triggers an emotions. Bad emotions, bad thoughts.) Unfortunately many doctors don't understand Aspergers, things like thought processes, motivations, etc. It's one thing to be knowledgeable about Aspergers, and another to really be able to understand the thinking. I'm an Aspergers Specialist, and I have Aspergers, so that really help me help the parents understand why their kiddo is doing what they are doing, and the best way to help the kiddo do it differently. If you are looking for someone to help you, I would suggest finding someone who is actually on the spectrum.
What are some unique gifts that a person with Asperger's Syndrome has?
Tony Attwood's and Carol Gray's "Discovery Criteria" describes people with Asperger's Syndrome in a positive way. So as not to infringe on copyright, I am only including a few brief phrases from it here, but links are provided below: "absolute loyalty", "unique perspective in problem solving", and "focused desire to maintain order and accuracy". I have also included three links to parodies on neurotypicality, although some people could find them offensive, showing how certain neurotypical behaviors appear to be problems. These give different, negative perspectives on common behaviors, but might inspire thoughts on wording more positive views on Asperger's Syndrome - in contrast to the "flaws" of neurotypicality.
How do you know if your child has Asperger's Syndrome?
A person with Aspergers' Syndrome will not talk much, not be very brave or courageous, he'll be normally nervous, sometimes talk back, and not be very reasonable in minor cases.In major cases, they're basically vegetables, they have zero concern or respect for anyone they don't like, they like to think that they know everything, they bully, and normally gang up on someone without Aspergers' or someone with a minor case.A:I am an adult with Asperger's and since being diagnosed I can now tell if others have the condition. I believe that there will be many people like myself who never knew about Asperger's itself let alone know that they have the condition. Asperger's covers a wide range of 'symptoms' 'difficulties' and 'oddities'. Adults with Asperger's generally don't like working in teams unless their role in the team is clearly defined and it is one where they feel confident. Sometimes an adult with Aspergers will repeat themselves in conversations, answer questions inappropriately. Social interaction is difficult because non verbal communication is often not understood. Although the diagnostic criteria and other professionals talk about 'special interests' many people with Asperger's dont in fact have these. However they may go through a period of time having obsessions about certain things. I will describe some of my own personal difficulties, visual spacial, often getting lost, not understanding if people are being serious or joking, unable to multi task (I am a female), very few friendships, easily upset with things like plans changing, people being late,
