I have a 14 year old son who is very high functioning asperger's. He just started 8th grade today. He got his hair cut last week. One of his friends commented on his hair, that he should keep his hat on, cause his hair looked dumb. So, now he is wearing his baseball hat all time, and is developing acne around the top of his forehead. I told him if he stopped wearing the hat, the acne would go away. The hat is trapping the oils etc to his head and his skin can't breath. I suggested that he stand on his own two feet and not listen to his friend and understand that if needs to listen to his own drummer, and not that of his friends. And if he wants to have clear skin and no zits, he needs to nix the hat. SO, he went to school today without the hat...I will let you know if my little talk worked. Good luck to all of you sending your kids back to school today. Mine could hardly wait to go...loves that structure! This comment does not really relate to much, just something I wanted to share.

You must believe that people will eventually grow out of Asbergers as you never comment on adults ( 30 and above ) with this syndrom. all of your comments refer to children of a very young age.

It touches on all these issues and many, many more, offering practical solutions. Nick Dubin takes us on a journey through the mind set of a typical person with AS, (and he should know, because he was diagnosed with AS at the age of 27) and navigates his way into many mind set issues. Dave - if you have not read this book - get it today! Anyone with AS, interested in AS or having loved ones with AS - should get this book. I shall be handing it out to several people I know - I am really excited about it - as you can see!
