Social interactions are one of the biggest issues for a child who has aspergers syndrome. In fact, lots of parents in fact catch on finally once they begin looking at their kid’s reaction to social situations. Usually a kid with Aspergers syndrome will have a tough time comprehending instructions from an individual. They aren’t sure, sometimes, who is talking in groups, or they can’t differentiate between different nonverbal (face) cues in individuals. Usually forming relationships and friendships become more and more of a pain than everything else.

A kid with aspergers would have low need to share a new discovery or experience with others most of the time. For example, if a kid paints a picture that he or she really likes, usually they’ll keep it to themselves and not share it with anyone else like most kids would do. Just remember the last time your nephew or son or grandson drew a picture. You probably have 15 on your fridge right now! Children with Asperger syndrome may not be like this; instead they will hide it away or throw it away so that no one else will see it. This makes sense when you think about it.

What do you do when your non-Asperger syndrome child gives you a picture they drew or painted? You compliment them, you embrace them, you squeal a little bit! Children with Asperger syndrome are smart! They don’t like this. They do not like loud noises, being touched or being in the spotlight so to speak. The child can occasionally become obsessive with an object. For example they may be constantly amused by small toy trucks or little toy cars. They may become so obsessive with them that they would sit for hours and watch the way the wheels turn against the floor.

The child might try expressing how amazing he thinks it is, but it may seem that as soon as he opens his mouth to talk he gets stage fear. Take the car away, and he would likely be very upset. While a lot of children are like this, it is somehow different with him. It is, to a degree, an abnormal reaction!
