Suggest Treatment For Asperger S Syndrome

I have a 25 year old son who is of average looks b it thinks he is ugly and wants to undergo plastic surgeries to improve his appearance. He is 5 8 tall and wants to undergo limb lengthening surgeries to be 6 tall All this is so. He can get a girlfriend. He has been diagnosed with Asperger s syndrome which is probably his real problem but he refuses to accept this and blames his failure with girls on his looks. Can he be helped?

Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Sorry to say there are no curable treatment available for asperger syndrome (AS). But there are symptomatic treatment can be useful.
That include combination of anti psychotic with SSRI for behavior abnormalities.

5.8' height is very good and no need to further increase in length.
Need to go for proper counseling and evaluation for better assessment.

Behavior therapy like Cognitive behavior therapy and supportive psychotherapy can help.

Consult psychiatrist and get help.

Happy to help you further.

Thank you.
