Adolescence and Asperger Syndrome: Adolescence

» andreajo13 - Adolescence

It's interesting to read the difference between your two boys. Well my son is now thirteen, his voice has changed ( has since he was twelve) and he is starting to get a moustach! I am really enjoying this puberty thing as he for some reason is easier to get along with. Although the grooming thing with teeth and hair is a problem sometimes, he is really bothered by "zits" and uses Noxema regularly. The only problem is getting him to wash his face BEFORE using the Noxema pads! His sense of independence is definitely beginning to show although he "needs" me to be there a lot of the time. He has been volunteering with us at local hockey games - stamping hands, and helping with the booster booth and doing various "go-fer" activities. I think for many AS teenagers, volunteering is a great way to help them learn new tasks and gain some confidence!

Thanks for a great article!
Regards,
