Suggest Treatment For Asperger S Syndrome

Are any of you psychologists? I know a man with Asbergers, who has had moderate success in life yet is seeking ways to better understand his disorder and become better. What typical treatments are offered for this condition? My friend was never fully diagnosed with it. His parents were told that his case was mild, yet he still suffered pain because of it. He s smart yet struggles with social cues and understanding simple directions. He has good wit and insight. Yet, he is seen as stupid by not understanding some things. Any advice to help my friend? Thanks!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Aspergers syndrome involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination. Usual symptoms are:

Problems with social skills
Eccentric or repetitive behaviors
Unusual preoccupations or rituals
Communication difficulties
Limited range of interests
Coordination problems
Many people with Asperger's syndrome are exceptionally talented or skilled in a particular area, such as music or math.

Right now, there is no cure for Asperger's syndrome, but therapy may improve functioning and reduce undesirable behaviors. The usual therapies given are:

Special education
Behavior modification
Speech, physical, or occupational therapy
Social skill therapies
drugs may be used to treat specific symptoms such as anxiety, depression, hyperactivity, and obsessive-compulsive behavior.

I request you to consult a psychologist near you to get your friend properly assessed for Asperger and then for therapies.
