Asperger Syndrome in Adults
My interest in Asperger Syndrome (AS) stems from personal and professional experiences working with this population. I came to appreciate the amazing skills possessed by those with AS, and use their positive traits as building blocks in therapy. Each person is a unique individual that shares various aspects of AS traits.
Asperger Syndrome also known as High Functioning Autism is a neurobiological, developmental disorder. In other words, the person with Asperger Syndrome (AS) is born with a uniquely structured brain.
Let’s begin with the positive aspects:
The following are domains that may present difficulty:
Therapeutic Framework:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Multisensory Tools, Organizational Skills, Social Skills. Our Emotional Support Bunny is available for those who are interested.
Co-occurring Conditions:
Frequently, AS is accompanied by other conditions such as: Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, and Depression. The therapeutic framework is expanded for the co-occurring conditions.
