High functioning ASD


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

Hi, my nephew (17) has high functioning ASD, he is clever but doesn't talk much or look at people in the eyes (that's the main thing, I won't go into other details now.

 

I never know how much to keep trying to communicate with him or whether I'm trying too hard! :ph34r: + :D

There is a good book written by a man with Aspbergers called, 'Look Me In The Eye' you may want to read. I would try to talk about what he is doing, comment on things he is interested in so that he can converse with family members on the things that interest him. Keep it low pressure but offer many opportunities to talk! Good luck!
