Special Issues for Young People with<br />
Asperger’s Syndrome<br />
• Mood swings-young people will need help diffusing<br />
anger, sadness and anx<strong>ie</strong>ty.<br />
• Changes to bod<strong>ie</strong>s, emotions and fr<strong>ie</strong>ndships happen<br />
rapidly and can be especially bewildering.<br />
• Strong sexual feelings may result in inappropriate<br />
sexual behaviour unless the young person is very<br />
clear about boundar<strong>ie</strong>s.<br />
• The young person’s naiveté can lead to teasing or<br />
becoming the target of sexual predators (including on<br />
the internet).
