Asperger's in the Middle School and High School Child

Children with Asperger’s syndrome enrolled in middle and high school will face their greatest challenges of socialization. Many AS children are educated in mainstream classrooms, and their social needs are often overlooked by the school. Because of their behavioral profile, children with Asperger’s may feel isolated from peers. Peer socialization is such an important component of child development at this stage, children with AS may experience mental health issues including anxiety or depression. Parents must be able to recognize these issues and provide intervention, help and support when necessary.
