Posted

HONESDALE, PA — “Aspergers 101,” a free seminar, will be held on Saturday, November 8 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Mariposa Center in the Holmes Building, 61 Commercial St. Basic information will be provided, such as: What is it? Who has it and who doesn’t? Can it be mixed with other symptons? Can it be cured? How do I get help? What can families do? The seminar is presented by licensed professional counselor Susan Thompson. Pre-registration is required, by calling 570/352-4997.

Aspergers Disorder was first identified by Hans Asperger, a Viennese pediatrician in the mid-20th century, as Autistic Personality Disorder. Today, Level I Autism is typically treated by the health care community with strategies and services appropriate to its specific needs. While it appears that the prevalence of this syndrome is rising, mixed reports including an increase in diagnosis and availability of therapeutic services, may also be contributing to those numbers.
