The best thing you can give your AS son or daughter is BALLS--Belief, Acceptance, Love, Like and Support. Children with Asperger Syndrome will thrive in the right environment, for AS brings with it great gifts--creativity, honesty, intelligence, sensitivity, etc.. It also brings sensory, cognitive and communication issues that will instill self-doubt in a person if they are not given the right understanding from those closest to them. Rudy Simone , author of "22 Things a Woman Must Know if She Loves a Man with Asperger Syndrome" and "Working with Aspergers" shows you how to give your children BALLS and offers workshops to AS support groups.

  • I'm a female with Asperger's. I could send you my experience of the condition if you like. Would sending a personal message to your channel be best?

    P.S. You're forty-five?? You look much younger, and pretty too.

  • sorry i just saw your comment today...please send a message via my wesite. thank you so much!

  • I just wanted to say that I love this video. I am a 22 year old male with AS and I like the way that issues were approached. I was just wondering however if you could edit the video so that there is no buzzing sound in the background. It hurts my ears.

  • sorry - it was a cheap old camera. i got a new flip so we'll see how that works in future ;-)

  • thank you for this video - my 17 year old daughter was recently dx with aspergers - I knew she was wonderfully different and finally got an answer :) I am trying to learn as much as I can about aspergers as well as provide opportunities for her too. She has embraced her dx with relief - it is awesome to know that there are intelligent role models that she can look too - she wants to major in writing and minor in psychology. We are college shopping now and it is a scary adventure.

  • Hi Diana - Make sure the college is TRULY supportive and that the Disabilities Services are AS-friendly and knowledgeable. A lot of times the people that work in those depts have little real knowledge of autism. Smaller schools are usually better for us. Also, don't be surprised if she takes a bit longer to graduate, and be supportive. I have a book on female AS coming out next year...I'll post on youtube the title and the when/where you can get it.

  • I wish you would write a book calles "22 things a man must know if he dates a woman with Aspergers". :)

  • @Rudytutti I have balls :(

  • Why is there a background screaaaal, Every couple seconds, Why?

  • This is really good stuff, and it does not just apply to parent / child relationship with a person with aspergers. My bestfriend / girlfriend has aspergers and I love to treat her good, I think you forgot one thing though another A for attention... paying good attention to a person with aspergers is important as well in bonding with them and helping them live a happy life.

  • you are very attractive

  • I'm glad you like men with Asperger's. You are super super hot,

    Innappropriate but true.
