As a unique individual, your child with Asperger's Syndrome is naturally drawn to very select topics or subject areas. As a parent, it will be important for you to recognize your child's areas of specialty and understand how to build upon them. Doing so will make your child feel tremendously valued, because you are communicating that you “get” the importance of the passions. Passions may be used as links to life-defining opportunities in learning, relationships, and employment.
