A child or Adolescent Diagnosed with Asberger's Syndrome would present with impairment in social interaction. Some of the more common impairments is in the use of non-verbal behaviors such eye-to-eye contact, body postures, and gestures to regulate interaction with others. Failure or difficulty in developing peer relationships, a lack of reciprocity on an emotional or social level.
The child would present with repetitive, restricted, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, activities, and interests. The preoccupation would be abnormal in focus or intensity, may be inflexible to specific routines or rituals, or may display repetitive hand or whole-body movements. The child may have an ongoing preoccupation with parts of objects.
The child does not have to display all of the above to be diagnosed with Asberger's Syndrome. It is beneficial for the child to have social skills training or education in a group setting. Seek the help of a Medical Doctor / Psychiatrist who would be best to diagnose such a disorder.
I would recommend searching for a social skills group for your child. Also, there are many workbooks you can purchase to help teach your child appropriate social skills. In some cases, searching for a psychotherapist may be needed for individual treatment.
