Asperger's Syndrome affects people in different ways. It can affect home, work, and school. It can affect relationships with friends, family, and co-workers or classmates. However it affects you, help is available. Whether you are a child, an adolescent, or an adult with Asperger's Syndrome, we can help. With individual or small group therapy, we can address those concerns that are associated with the disorder.

 

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

If you offer someone a piece of your home-made fruit cake, and he doesn't like the way it tastes, he might say, "No thanks, I'm not hungry."  We are taught that lying is bad. Should we discourage his behavior? CBT is a widely accepted evidence and empirically based psychotherapy method. The particular therapeutic technique for those with Asperger's Syndrome uses significant events and associated feelings to question and test cognitions, assumptions, and beliefs that might be unhelpful, and unrealistic. In the above case we teach them to be flexible in their thinking, and show them how to be more adaptive to the situation.

 

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

When you are very angry, yelling is an appropriate response, yet we try to discourage that behavior when the emotion is unfounded.  Instead of trying to change the behavior, we should focus on changing the thought; that will in turn change the emotion, which will in turn change the behavior. Instead of trying to decrease the yelling, we try to decrease getting "very angry" in situations where it does not make sense.  REBT helps people by teaching them to recognize and change those aspects of their thinking which are insensible, inaccurate, or not useful. It is designed to reduce upset feelings and increase personal effectiveness through rational-emotive imagery, communication skill training, and other exercises.
