How Can Asperger S Syndrome Be Explained To An Adult Diagnosed With It?
I believe my adult son has Aspergers. When he was a child, he confused people in school because he was bright but behaved in weird ways. He was tested but at the time, Aspergers had not been known as a condition. He is an adult now and I believe he has Aspergers but I don t know how to talk to him about it. I do know what to do to help him without making him feel different.

Hi,
First of all, you need build confidence in him and explain about the possibility of Asperger's syndrome (AS). After that, suggest to him to consult a psychologist/neuropsychologist for assessment and evaluation. Once the diagnosis of AS has been confirmed, further options can be discussed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
