Embracing Asperger’s Syndrome |

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Every cloud has silver lining.” It’s especially true when you’re talking about Asperger’s Syndrome. The very qualities that may label someone with Asperger’s as the geek, the loner or the person who is just a little odd, also make them an out-of-the-box, independent thinker. I’m Dr. Billi, owner of AttentionB, a therapeutic practice. I have been an Educator, Expressive Arts Psychotherapist and Health Coach for more than 30 years. I will show you the true value in Asperger’s traits, while helping you or your child become more at ease with social and interpersonal skills. |

What makes a person with Asperger’s special? Let’s begin with their ability to: |
|
| |
|
 |
Devote their full concentration to a topic |
|
| |
|
|
Be detail-oriented without getting overwrought or bored |
|
| |
|
|
Stick to an opinion |
|
| |
|
|
Envision the bigger picture |
|
| |
|
|
Bring unusual connections and insights to a situation |
|
| |
|
|
Consider options that others won’t, opening doors to new ways of approaching a problem |
|
| |
|
|
Speak the authentic truth. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
These traits should be embraced. They are what makes someone with Asperger’s creative, intelligent, honest, and hardworking—all admirable qualities. I work with children, teenagers and adults to help them create a balance between these commendable characteristics and those that prevent healthy relationships. This is accomplished with a multitude of educational disciplines, e.g.: |
|
| |
|
|
Non-verbal communication and body language |
|
| |
|
|
AttenGo™ —Neuro Cognitive software enhances skills and Beta brainwaves |
|
| |
|
|
Innovative behavioral methods |
|
| |
|
|
Expressive and Creative Arts therapies and coaching |
|
| |
|
|
- Psychodrama
- Movement therapy
- Art therapy
- Play therapy.
|
|
| |
|

Using these and other proven methods and systems, I will guide you or your child through the challenges of Asperger’s. I assist with socialization, goal setting, focusing, organizational skills, and learning for all ages.
To keep your level of stress to a minimum, I can do the coaching sessions at your home or office or at my location. I bring the computer and all the other equipment with me. First, I familiarize myself with the way you or your child perceives things and the way you think. I learn how the symptoms of your child’s Asperger’s Syndrome plays out in your day-to-day life and then I provide encouragement, recommendations, feedback, and practical techniques. |
