Grab the Badge:
Welcome to "Stalk Hop Friday"! It's hosted at: Mrs. Marine and the Tiny Troops, Novel Bloggers, Two Peas in a Pie, and Aspergian Tales! This one is a little different from the usual, instead of just following on Google Friend Connect (GFC), each week the "Follow Theme" will rotate to something different! There will be two linky's each week, one for the Theme and one for GFC!
So everyone has a chance to participate!

Tony Attwood's Key Characteristics of Asperger's
4 comments Posted by One with many names at 8:16 AMOne of the books that I recommend for anyone with an Aspie in their life is Tony Attwood's Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome.
From his book, here are some key characteristics:
*Children with Asperger's Syndrome have the following Characteristics:
* delayed social maturity and social reasoning
* immature empathy
* difficulty making friends and often teased by other children
* difficulty with the communication and control of emotion
* unusual language abilities that include advanced vocabulary and syntax but delayed conversation skills, unusual prosody and tendency to be pedantic
* a fascination with a topic that is unusual in intensity or focus
* difficulty maintaining attention in class
* an unusual profile of learning abilities
* a need for assistance with some self-help and organization skills
* clumsiness in terms of gait or coordination
* sensitivity to specific sounds, aromas, textures or touch
