Dr. Volkmar explains what a mother can do if she believes her child has Asperger's syndrome.
Dr. Volkmar:
It’s interesting, there’s less information on Asperger’s kind of out there available. There are a couple of very good websites. Our website which is autism.fm, www.autism.fm, has a pamphlet on diagnosis of Asperger’s. There are some very good parent groups. There’s the Aspen organization, I can’t tell you the website which can probably interpolate it in, but there are some good websites that provide some basic information, but there’s less out there on Asperger’s Syndrome than there is on autism.
