About Asperger’s Syndrome

Asperger’s syndrome is offi­cially clas­sified as an autistic spectrum disorder or pervasive devel­op­mental disorder. The most common symptoms involve social inep­titude and diffi­culty with empathy, but symptoms vary widely and the disorder mani­fests uniquely in each indi­vidual. It is not uncommon for symptoms of Asperger’s to be mistaken for indi­cators of ADD/ADHD, leading to frequent misdi­ag­nosis of the disorder.

Other symptoms include delayed motor skill devel­opment, all-absorbing interest in limited topics, inability to read social cues or under­stand humor, and gram­mat­i­cally correct speech that has an unusual rhythm or into­nation. The primary symptoms of Asperger’s may lead to social isolation, depression, and/or anxiety, espe­cially if left untreated as a child matures into adolescence.

Treatment

Although Asperger’s syndrome is a lifelong neuro­bi­o­logical condition whose causes are not fully under­stood, its inception appears to be linked to physical changes in the brain. While their is no cure for the disorder, symptoms may be effec­tively managed, espe­cially if treatment is under­taken while a child’s brain is still devel­oping. In addition, certain char­ac­ter­istics, such as attention to detail and a proclivity for structure and truth, may be appro­priated as benefits with the proper support.

Research shows neurotherapy to be an effective, safe, non-invasive way to manage the symptoms of Asperger’s. neuroAgility offers state of the art brain training that is respectful and non-stigmatizing. Our program helps those with Asperger’s Syndrome to utilize and train the brain to build on existing strengths and gain better control of their lives.
