My six year old son on Daytrana for adhd and he has aspergers disorder?
My son had I don't want to say has because I know the good lord has healed him. Had adhd and Asperger's disorder if any one is not familer with that it's a form of Autisim. My question is he wears the patch for his adhd the med. is Daytrana and he has been on this med. since Dec. 18 06 here the last couple of months he has been picking at his ear , his face, and any scab he can find on his body until it bleeds. I was wondering which I have asked on here already if it could be the Daytrana that is making him do this because he can't stop it's almost like he is upsest with is he tells me his skin tickles. I have hard that some meds. can make your skin feel like it's crawling. Could it be the Asperger's disorder that is making him do this. I don't know I already took him to his doctor and he looks at it and all he did was give me a presc. for ointment.He tells me that it's just a habit he has picked up. I should had said something because I was thinking why all of the sudden.

Are children with aspergers disorder prone to self abuse?
My little brother is five. He has aspergers,and he looked up at me and told me I was treating him like a baby which I was at the time,I was teasing him and he was teasing me as well I thought we were having fun He said," Could a BABY do this? ? " He put his hands around his throat and squeezed as hard as he could for a few seconds and made " choking" sound effects.He was red in the face...but laughing about it.I told him never to do that again,and that hurting himself made me very sad He said," BUT you were being mean."

How to get diagnoses for aspergers disorder?
Hi,I just wanted to write to you to get your thoughts on how to get a diagnoses on aspergers. Somebody mentioned to me a while ago that I act a lot like their friend who has mild autism. At first I think I kind of denied myself thinking that I did have a form of autism. However now that I have looked into since then I think I seem to show a lot of signs of aspergers in my opinion . I have tried look for information about getting a diagnostic for myself to get an answer one way other, but in Ireland anyway, everything seems kid focused if you know what I mean and the sites I have tried contacting so far haven't given me much help? Anyway, do you know of any way or route for me to follow to get an answer from someone on this topic? Thanks
If you get fired from a job due to the conditions that Aspergers disorder causes, are you considered disabled?
. . . For example, if you're working in a grocery store doing a job that requires as little social interaction as possible such as stocking shelves, etc., and the inherent, easily observed, non verbal external traits of Aspergers disorder result in customer complaint s i.e., that you were rude, or " stuck up" to customer s who asked you questions, such as where things are located in the store , which in turn results in your termination of employment, since the employer was providing reasonable accommodations for you by giving you a job with the least amount of social interaction as any in the store, and if you also have comorbid social anxiety disorder and clinical depression.
I would like to know what causes panic/anxiety attacks and why I have Aspergers Disorder?
I have had panic anxiety attacks since I turned 14 or around 8th grade. I did have a normal childhood but not as normal as others since I didn't have many friends or I didn't go to daycare as much and I always asked alot of questions and often got frustrated and angry and had tantrums, I moved to America when I was 7 I was born in Estonia. I got teased alot in Elementary and Middle school. Now that I'm 17 years old I've begun to understand myself more and know myself, I've been through alot in my life, good and bad. I'm very shy and its hard for me to communicate make friends. Last year I was in alot of stress and I mean alot, I started having severe panic attacks and I almost felt like dying, thats how bad they were. I ended up in the hospital, had no idea what was going on. They gave me alot of medication in the hospital, I got transferred into a mental hospital though, and from there on they discovered I had Aspergers Disorder, I also had Panic Anxiety Disorder. Im much better now
Advice for headbanging and hand biting/wringing Autism (Aspergers Disorder)?
I have Aspergers Disorder and during times of extreme stress or excitation I bang my head on walls and hit my head with my hands or bite them. This has gone on for years no teachers ever reported it, but I sure got made fun of for doing it and no one psychologists, general doctors and my psychiatrist seem to know what it stems from . I don't do it in public very often, so they say that it is controllable. However, I don't know it has happened until it has happened. I have found a bit of research on a correlation between the two, but it is in " Autistic Children" . I was diagnosed at 17 relatively late, I am now 21 . Anyone else heard of this? This is obviously not good for me to do and I now have calluses on my hands and forehead I cover with makeup . The medications Effexor and Zoloft have helped cut these episodes in half. Ativan almost totally stops it, but I can't be doped up all day or addicted. These episodes happen 7 to 10 times a day. I am embarrassed to talk about it people notice the bump on my forehead, because I don't want to be labeled an idiot Any advice on where to get research would help.....Thank You.
Should I let my boss know that I have Aspergers Disorder?
My job has changed a lot over the last few years, from a job that was very suited to a person with Aspergers, to one that is very poorly suited.While I have suspected I had Aspergers ever since first reading of the condition, about 10 years ago, I was only recently " offically" meaning by a psychologist diagnosed.My boss often tries to do what he calls " development opportunities" or " stetching my comfort zone" work assignments.I became overwhelmed, and depression set in.My boss has indicated, that he wants to make me successful, and asked me for input on how he could do that.Should I give him the guide, on how to manage an employee with aspergers?My concern is that he will think I am such a poor fit for the job, that I will be eliminated, the next time he gets told he has to reduce his staff.I am likely still employed, because I do a subset of my job better than anyone in our group troubleshooting when stuff breaks. But the job is so much broader than that.Another thing about Aspergers, is difficultly in just moving on to a new situation.I have developed a good repore with most of my co workers, and in a way, even my boss.But I have considered finding a new job.Genie,Yes, I do have a talent in computer programming, and code trouble shooting. I have always excelled in this area, in college, and in the work place, above my peers.That used to be the majority of my job, but with coding going over seas cheap labor , now I manage the process, write specifications and doing code reviews and testing for multiple projects instead of the deep focus for one project at a time, I am required to do a lot of communication and manage multiple projects.I have to figure out just how much I have to work harder at, and how much just isn't a good fit meaning I need to find something else.
