Re: Aspergers?

Hi Gina, sorry for being a bit tardy in answering your post, things have been busy :)

There are a few good websites regarding Autism and Asperger's syndrome, (which is part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder).

This one gives a good explanation, and quite rightly points out that there is no known cause for Autism, including Asperger's syndrome.

So far, the most successful treatments for children with Autism, has been behavioural and speech therapy, (particularly for the less severe forms).

Please advise your friends not to use the internet for diagnosis, but go and see a professional. That way, if a diagnosis of Autism is made, they can have access to therapies and benefits that may help.
