One form of autism is aspergers. People who suffer from aspergers are higher up in the spectrum. The language skills that these people possess are usually normal. The main problem that they need to face is social interaction. Usually, this problem is first observed when the child starts going to school. A child can either show all the signs relating to Aspergers, or just a few. A few of the common symptoms of Aspergers are listed below.
1. The child may find it difficult talking to other children. Children suffering from this syndrome find it difficult approaching other people and starting conversations.
2. The child might use very advanced words in relation to his or her age. These children use words that only adults use.
3. The child is not able to understand jokes and sarcasm. Children suffering from Aspergers find it difficult to understand tones and voices. They take everything seriously.
4. The child does not have many interests. These children focus on a single thing only. For instance if the child takes to puzzles, he or she will only want to do puzzles always. They will learn as much as they can about one particular subject and focus on that only.
5. The child is not able to cope with change in routine. This is especially hard when the child is starting school. Their home routine is suddenly changed. The same applies for breaks during school year. Autistic children often suffer from this problem.
6. They talk a lot. Children suffering from the Aspergers syndrome usually speak a lot. They speak about everything irrespective of its appropriateness. Their conversations are usually one sided. It will seem like they are talking at you rather than to you.
7. They have problem making new friends. Children with Aspergers find it difficult to make new friends because they are unable to relate to other children. Sometimes they try too hard to make a friend and scare other kids away in the process.
8. They do not make eye contact. Children who suffer from Aspergers usually cannot look at your eyes while speaking. This is found commonly in Autistic children.
9. The child uses repetitive movements. These include bouncing back and forth, spinning around etc. These movements calm and soothe the Aspergers child.
10. They have a problem speaking. The child might speak too fast without noticing whether the person to whom they are speaking is paying attention. Usually they speak in monotones and their tone does not reflect emotions.
11. They have a problem with movement. They often have a problem coordinating their movements and they lack certain coordination skill. They might trip and stumble very often. They might take longer than usual to learn to ride a bike.
Children suffering from Aspergers are the luckiest of those suffering from Autism. Their language skills and intelligence is high. It is relatively easier to teach them social skills to help them get by. If your child exhibits any of these symptoms, take him or her to the doctor immediately.
