How do you calm someone with Aspergers?
Low: Use a low, quiet voice to speak to your child. Slow: Their language processing is generally slower than ours (especially after a meltdown) so speak few words and each word slowly. Offer choices: In your quiet, slow speech, give them a couple of choices that they can choose to do now to feel better.
How do you discipline someone with Aspergers?
How to Correct Problem Behavior

- REINFORCE & PUNISH. Behaviors have consequences.
- REPEAT.
- REQUEST.

In addition to difficulties with understanding emotions, individuals with ASDs may become angry quickly and may have difficulty calming themselves effectively. They often need to be taught skills to cope with an increase in irritability once they have been able to identify these emotions.
Do you want kids with Asperger’s?
Fun fact: Asperger’s isn’t a learning disability. We don’t experience anything less than a “normal” human being. We just interact socially differently. That’s it. I want to have kids just as much as a neurotypical person does. Maybe even more so. And if my kids have Asperger’s, so be it.
Should I stop sharing about my Asperger’s?
Stop sharing about your Asperger’s. As long as I have the ability to type and/or speak, I will not stop sharing about my uniqueness. About the strange brain I believe God gave me and the abilities that come along with it.
Do people with Asperger’s tend to be obsessed with certain subjects?
Some people with Asperger’s tend to find an obsession in a subject, like a book or a celebrity or whatnot. But I would rather not share that with someone out of the blue.
