How do you motivate a child with Aspergers?
Employ an activity-based reward system. Teens with Asperger’s and HFA often derive intense pleasure from their favourite activities, so these can be used to motivate them to engage in less-preferred activities (e.g., homework, chores). This avoids nagging, frustration, and other negative social stimuli.
Can you have Asperger’s without autism?
However, this is not always true, and some people with Asperger’s may present with common learning disabilities as well (such as dyslexia) without having full-blown autism. It is generally agreed that no high-functioning form of autism can occur in someone with an IQ below 65-70.
