There is a child in my daycare with Asperger.Mentally he is fully functional,perhaps even possibly advanced.He can even be grossly manipulative.However,he has zero social skills and often has trouble functioning in even small groups of people.I feel so bad for him because he wants so much to make friends but has absolutely no clue how to do it.We do the best we can to help him out but bless his heart,the socialization skills just aren't there.He likes to hang around younger kids because the younger kids will listen to him just because they think he is cool because he is older.The older children his age just seem to baffle and frustrate him. All of his caregivers,including the mom,have to be really careful with him though because he will approach anyone because he thinks anyone and everyone is his friend.
