Asperger's Syndrome
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2009 7:08 pm
Hello!
I'm wondering if anyone has read the book: A Drug-Free Approach to Asperger Syndrome and Autism. I had purchased it in hopes that it would give insight into specific rubrics that are typical for Asperger Syndrome children. I think it was written for parents, to generally interest them into becoming homeopathic clients. Although it has several cases talked about in the book, it doesn't really help a student trying to figure out rubrics that can be used in determining remedies. (This book didn't even really discuss many specific remedies, just that once given "the remedy", progress was made.)
I've done a bit of research, and found that "Typical" Asperger Symptoms are in general categories.
One site had some very limited rubrics such as:
mind; behavior, disobedience
mind; emotions, feelings, attitude....(disposition;abrupt, abusive, anger, defiant, impatience, irritability, takes everything badly, unfriendly humor)
mind; talking, conversation......(answers abruptly, intolerant of contradiction, contrary, obstinate)
I'm wondering if anyone else has anything they can add that they've noticed when working with children like this (it's a different issue than autism, although I'd like to discuss similar situations with autism as well).... Can you add to, the symptoms list, and add to the rubrics for the various symptoms - so as to help navigate the repertory more efficiently?
Seems like there's more and more cases each day with children with issues like this. If it were somewhat organized by a collective group, as a organized project, it may prove helpful as a whole - to help everyone more effectively and efficiently hit the right remedy the first time, and make a statement to the mainstream medical that this system works unexplainably well!
Anyone willing to help with this? I thankyou in advance!

Parents often first notice the symptoms of Asperger's syndrome when their child starts preschool and begins to interact with other children. Children with Asperger's syndrome may:
Not pick up on social cues and may lack inborn social skills, such as being able to read others' body language, start or maintain a conversation, and take turns talking.
Dislike any changes in routines.
Appear to lack empathy.
Be unable to recognize subtle differences in speech tone, pitch, and accent that alter the meaning of others’ speech. Thus, your child may not understand a joke or may take a sarcastic comment literally. Likewise, his or her speech may be flat and difficult to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent.
Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. For example, the child may use the word "beckon" instead of "call" or the word "return" instead of "come back."
Avoid eye contact or stare at others.
Have unusual facial expressions or postures.
Be preoccupied with only one or few interests, which he or she may be very knowledgeable about. Many children with Asperger's syndrome are overly interested in parts of a whole or in unusual activities, such as designing houses, drawing highly detailed scenes, or studying astronomy. They may show an unusual interest in certain topics such as snakes, names of stars, or dinosaurs.2
Talk a lot, usually about a favorite subject. One-sided conversations are common. Internal thoughts are often verbalized. (Discernment of what's acceptable in public on private issues - is not always considered)
Have delayed motor development. Your child may be late in learning to use a fork or spoon, ride a bike, or catch a ball. He or she may have an awkward walk. Handwriting is often poor.
