Welcome To The Gold Foundation
Asperger Syndrome is a Neuro- Developmental disorder that is on the Autism Spectrum. People with Asperger Syndrome have autism-like difficulties but have an intellectual capacity considered within the normal range and normal verbal skills. However they have a distinctive set of characteristics that have been apparent since early childhood. This distinctive presentation tends to occur in three main areas: social, communication and restrictive interests.
These difficulties occur in all life domains and can make school, home and community life a lot harder for them.
No two people with Asperger Syndrome are alike – they are all uniquely different. There is no cure for Asperger Syndrome but people with a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome can live full and happy lives, especially with early intervention.
“Please help us help these children who have such potential but who struggle so hard to fit in.”
Society looks at kids with disabilities and focuses on what they can’t do. We like to focus on what they CAN do and give them an opportunity to shine……… like GOLD.
