What is the theory behind this Asperger’s therapy worksheet?
Asperger’s Syndrome is a developmental disorder with high intellectual quotient. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome have a difficult time relating and connecting to others socially and their behaviors are repetitive and they can be rigid. They face significant difficulties in engaging in or conceiving small talks, body language and gestures as well as facial expressions. Their therapy focuses on understanding sarcasm, jokes, and irony since they could take the subject matter literally.
