Aspergers Syndrome Stephanie Ridd

There is no gain saying that, lately, lots of people have started to link Asperger syndrome to Autism. Well, the truth is that, Asperger syndrome is not particularly Autism; as a matter of fact, where the two are related is perhaps only in the several similar symptoms exhibited by both medical conditions. Besides that, I think one reason lots of parents caught this drift is because they are rather more familiar with Autism compared to Asperger syndrome. In fact, recently, you may have seen a story on Oprah about Jenny McCarthy and her son and their realization that he had Autism. Well, as a result of this story, that made lots of parents more aware about what this diagnosis is ...how it could change your child and in fact, know if your kid might or might not have it. Yes, I think lots of parents saw that episode on Oprah and looked at their kid thinking, "wow, that is what has been wrong!" or "wow, those symptoms sounded just like my son's." It used to be that individuals didn't talk about this. However, the truth is that, as a parent you should know that... if your kid has it, otherwise, it could take years or possibly their entire lives before you find out that they have it. Nowadays, though, people are more open about it. Yes, the truth is that individuals like Jenny McCarthy went on national TV for a reason - to share her story and her kid's story with everybody so, that if your child does have symptoms of Asperger, then you must get things checked out.
