Legos helping kids with autism to build social skills

Legos® is helping children with autism to learn social skills! read the article at the Huffington Post link below.

My (Danny Pettry) focus as a practitioner is providing services for children with abuse-reactive/ trauma needs. However, from time to time I’ve provided services for children with (usually higher functioning) Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Of course, social skills trianing can benefit many children.

Asperger Experts - support service

Hello RT friend:

There is a site titled, Asperger Experts. It provides information.
The service costs money. Please note that I [Danny Pettry] am not affiliated with them. I do not gain any income or rewards if you sign-up. I'm not a member.

I do have an odd fascination with Aspergers, which is part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the DSM-5.

I've briefly disclosed from time to time that I think I have a mild form of Aspergers.
As a child, I was fascinated with state license plates. I collected a toy license plate from all 50 states and DC! and I remembered the numbers for my parents and grandparents cars. I called our Subaru nhd-4-93 for years or by her nickname "roo." I also had sensory issues with certain types of clothing that would drive me crazy. It wouldn't bother the average person, but it did me. Imagine wearing an uncomfortable, itchy sweater. There are certain types of clothing that I feel more sensitive about compared to others.

Danny P. comments: Although Asperger Syndrome is not in the DSM-5, it is part of the Autism Spectrum.

Despite not being a diagnosis, there are some people who still associate with the “Aspie culture.” 

He is not Rude. He has Aspergers

Aspergers is not in the DSM-5.

However, I had met some people who have Aspergers at a conference once. They called their group, "Aspies," if I recall correctly. They said you can take it out of the DSM, but they claim they still exist.

The diagnosis is now under Autism Spectrum Disorder in the DSM-5.

Here is an interesting article, titled: he's not being rude. He has aspergers.
