Aspergers

By Patrisha Martin
What is Asperger Syndrome?
 An Autism spectrum disorder
 Described in 1944 by an Austrian doctor, Hans
  Asperger
 May be caused by genes and/or the environment.
  These may include; toxins, household cleaners,
  and vaccines
Asperger Syndrome and the Brain
           There are few studies on brain
            anatomy of Aspergers.
           There is however, evidence of
            differences in limbic circuits (important
            in sensorimotor gating). Researcher’s
            believe this is why people who have
            autistic disorders have repetitive
            thoughts and actions.
           Structural abnormalities in the brain
            also may cause AS, these
            abnormalities impact neural circuits
            that control thought and behavior, a
            gene or the environment may cause
            interference with the normal movement
            and wiring of the embryonic brain cells
            during early development.
Aspergers and the Brain cont.
 Imperfection in genes that control and
  regulate normal brain growth create
  irregular growth patterns, which cause
  overgrowth in some brain structures
  and reduced growth, or excessive cell
  loss, thus happening in the stages of
  fetal development.
 Impaired knowledge of the human face
  common with people who have AS is
  caused by the prefrontal cortex (right
  hemisphere especially) which plays a
  critical role in the recognition of a
  person’s face.
 There is also belief that there is an
  increased brain volume in people with
  AS due to abnormal prenatal pruning
  of the synapses. AS synapses are in
  non social areas which lead to further
  specialization in the persons specific
  area of interest and further neglect,
  declining social synapses.
Facts about Asperger Syndrome
 2 out of every 10,000 children are diagnosed with
  AS
 Boys are three times more likely to be diagnosed
  with AS than girls
 Children with AS usually have a history of
  developmental delays
 Can not be diagnosed through a blood test like
  Down Syndome
Signs of Asperger Syndrome
 It is usually discovered in children at the age of 3
 Children with AS often lack the ability to modulate the
    volume of their voice to match their surroundings.
   Abnormal eye contact
   Unfriendliness
   The failure to turn when called by name
   The failure to use gestures to point or show
   A lack of interactive play
   A lack of interest in peers
   Repetitive routines or rituals
   Insensitivity of pain or temperatures
Diagnosing and Treatment
            It is important for children to be screened so
             that we can identify and proceed into
             interventions that will help the child through
             life.
            Diagnosing Aspergers is difficult. According
             to studies it has been tricky to diagnose
             children with Aspergers due to the lack of
             instruments that are not reliable and
             accurate information.
            In an article I read I found that teachers
             sometimes have a better chance in noticing
             that the child may suffer from AS, thus
             because they are seeing the children in a
             different environment than the parents may,
             helping the parents be informed that their
             child may need screened.
            In today’s society doctors and schools
             screen the children for AS by observation
             and a series of questions for the parents
             about their child and for the child
             themselves.
Diagnosing and Treatment cont.
 In today’s society doctors and schools screen the children
  for AS by observation and a series of questions for the
  parents about their child and for the child themselves.
 MRI’s are also being looked at to treat AS by scanning the
  brain and going over the wiring that is responsible for
  language, social, and the emotional functions.
 Medications for depression, anxiety, and aggression may
  help reduce some symptoms that a person may
  experience with AS.
 Therapy including:
     Speech
     Physical or Occupational (to help with motor skills/sensory)
     Social Skill training
     Cognitive Behavior (to help with emotions)
Video
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ryiPSGt4LQ&f
 eature=related ( Just a heads up the video may
 cause you to cry as it did me, it gives you an
 understanding of what parents and the children
 might be going through)
Donate
 After researching Aspergers it really touched my
 heart. This has been a big thing to me and I have
 now started to donate. I believe that more and
 more people need to be aware of Aspergers. I
 hope that after going through my power point you
 can inform others of Aspergers. If you would like
 to donate you can donate at the same place as I.

  • 7. Diagnosing and Treatment  It is important for children to be screened so that we can identify and proceed into interventions that will help the child through life.  Diagnosing Aspergers is difficult. According to studies it has been tricky to diagnose children with Aspergers due to the lack of instruments that are not reliable and accurate information.  In an article I read I found that teachers sometimes have a better chance in noticing that the child may suffer from AS, thus because they are seeing the children in a different environment than the parents may, helping the parents be informed that their child may need screened.  In today’s society doctors and schools screen the children for AS by observation and a series of questions for the parents about their child and for the child themselves.

Diagnosing and Treatment cont.  In today’s society doctors and schools screen the children for AS by observation and a series of questions for the parents about their child and for the child themselves.  MRI’s are also being looked at to treat AS by scanning the brain and going over the wiring that is responsible for language, social, and the emotional functions.  Medications for depression, anxiety, and aggression may help reduce some symptoms that a person may experience with AS.  Therapy including:  Speech  Physical or Occupational (to help with motor skills/sensory)  Social Skill training  Cognitive Behavior (to help with emotions)

  • 10. Donate  After researching Aspergers it really touched my heart. This has been a big thing to me and I have now started to donate. I believe that more and more people need to be aware of Aspergers. I hope that after going through my power point you can inform others of Aspergers. If you would like to donate you can donate at the same place as I. http://www.americanaspergers.org/
