Asperger's Syndrome
"Worried? Uncertain? Tap into the ChildForum network for families, childcare, and early childhood education professionals to get answers and have confidence among children with Asperger's syndrome."
Children with Aspergers live within our community. Parents often suspect from a very early age that something is different about their child, but it may not be until many years later that diagnosis occurs and help is given. Read more...
It is not uncommon for an early childhood education or childcare service to have a child with Aspergers or Asperger's Syndrome / Disorder. Such children can be viewed as a 'problem' because they are not understood and appreciated. But difference can be a blessing making us more accepting of others and aware of individuality. Inclusion and understanding is recommended.
A child with Asperger's also has other needs typical of any young child. And, so parents, caregivers and educators find it helpful to get a broad knowledge of child development and learning and join ChildForum to network and gain important information and ideas.

Did you know that ...
Asperger’s is usually characterised by trouble with social interaction, communication and interpreting language.
Although the condition is similar to autism, it is part of the diagnosis of Asperger’s that language and intellectual development is normal.
Children with Asperger’s are often social and want to develop relationships, but equally there are also many who are happy doing their own thing and do not actively seek out social interaction.
A child with Asperger’s is often one of average (and very often above average) intelligence.
There's a whole range of information and tips on childcare and teaching, along with research available at ChildForum that can help you understand and support a child with Asperger's and all the other needs that a young child has.
