Has Your Child Got Aspergers Syndrome ?

I recently took my daughter 12 years old for a check-up for a new dentist. All was well with his teeth, but I have a diagnosis, I was not expected from a visit to the dentist - Aspergers Syndrome.

Check after 5 minutes the teeth, has left this bomb on me. This dentist is also a non-practicing physician, he felt at ease to give me this information. Of course, this diagnosis was only based on his 10 minutes of watching my daughter's afraid of the dentist, and I told him that they are usually the indicator light will be extremely irritating to the eyes. Apparently, anxiety and sensitivity to light two symptoms of Asperger syndrome.

Later, at home, after recovering a little shock, I started in this disorder, because I did not know anything about them, although I have heard that name before.

I found that Asperger syndrome is the lowest of autism spectrum disorders, and is a developmental disorder that affects the way in which the child develops and understands the world, and consequently leads to difficulties in everyday social interactions.

Although symptoms vary among individuals, children with Asperger syndrome tend to have these major symptoms listed below.

Difficulty with social partners normaleInterazione, especially in school settings. 0%A certain degree of social isolation, lack of understanding by Empathieund inability, through social, as not to interrupt when others are talking and appropriate responses to any expression
Conversation or play.

An obsessive preoccupation with one or two topics of interest

Repetitive movements of the body as flapping hands.

The lack of eye contact, awkward movements of the body, only a few facial expressions and speak in a monotone voice.

To know the routine and insistence of a need, when and how all that is happening, and all the details of the agreements. as a journey.

Delayed motor skills development, such as catching balls and bikes, and can go with a strange attitude.

These are some of the most important characteristics of a child with Asperger syndrome. Of course not everyone is all of these symptoms.

Some areas in which Asperger syndrome does not cause problems are language development, cognitive development, (such as reading or math skills) and the development of age-appropriate self-help skills (eating and dressing).

So in summary, are some of the telltale signs of this disease.

As we have seen my daughter has none of these symptoms with the exception of sensitivity to bright light, and I did not want to see fear running around like a symptom of Asperger syndrome. So, this is a lesson not to believe in everything that you tell your dentist if it comes to teeth, of course!
