Suggest Treatment And Symptoms Of Aspergers Syndrome

i was speaking with my best friend about some bad things that were happening, and him asking questions like "why do i do this". he has aspergers syndrome, and was "officially" diagnosed by a doctor. he told me that i have a whole lot of the same symptoms that he does, and that i might possibly have AS as well.

the symptoms we share are things like--
difficulty understanding certain types of sarcasm and jokes, difficulty reading people/understanding body language, apparently odd gait/posture, intense and limited interests, and social anxiety.

do you think he is right?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Aspergers syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder. poor social interactions, obsessions, odd speech patterns, difficulty in reading, fewer facial expressions, unusual sensitivity to stimuli etc are common symptoms.

Because of the vividness of this problem, there is no specific methods of treatment. The following are usually applied.


parent education and training
specialized educational interventions
social skills training
language therapy
sensory integration training for younger kids, usually performed by an occupational therapist, in which they are desensitized to stimuli to which they're overly sensitive
psychotherapy or behavioral/cognitive therapy for older kids

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
