Social Skills - Autism / Asperger #39;s Syndrome Teens Training - Mentors
autismparenthood.com =FREE SOCIAL SKILLS INFO aspergerssociety.org = FREE NEWSLETTER How to help teens with autism and Asperger #39;s syndrome improve social skills. You can use Dale Carnegie #39;s book, How to Win Friends and Influence People along with my book, the Asperger #39;s Syndrome Guide for Teens and Young Adults. One great way to improve skill is to get a mentor. Mentors Many schools have peer mentoring programs; these are usually staffed by kids more likely to be kind, sensitive, and understanding to differences. They might be able to help your teen strike up a friendship. Or else try to use a university student as a mentor, for the same reason; more maturity, and if they work one-on-one with your teen, your teen will flourish in the attention and care of someone older. It will help to raise their self esteem and give them the courage to try to approach their peers. Reasons Teens with Asperger #39;s Have Trouble Making Friends Wanting friends is one thing, but making them and keeping them is another entirely. Intelligence has nothing to do with it. You need a certain social savvy to make friends that most teens with autism syndrome lack. A mentoring program can point out, real time, how a person on the autism spectrum can improve, what errors in social interaction they are making and a mentor can guide a teenager to improve by pointing out specific social errors as they are happening.
