Hey everyone - I'm interested in people's perspectives on treatment for Asperger Syndrome. I don't have a diagnosis but am interested in becoming a clinician in the future and am looking for some opinions. I have a few specific questions that i'll put up here, but would love any perspectives that I don't ask about.
If you're a parent/friend, please feel free to answer in relation to them (like how long they have been diagnosed or what treatment they've gotten). I really appreciate any feedback, thanks so much.
- Do you view Aspergers as a personality (i.e. a different way of perceiving the world that is pervasive and untreatable) or a disorder (i.e. a ow long have you been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome?
- What do you see as the purpose of treatment for Asperger Syndrome? What do you see as the end goal of treatment for Asperger Syndrome?
Also, if you want to answer some other questions for me and don't want to spam the feed, PM me and we can chat! I'd love to learn from you and talk about the controversy that treatment can provide.
