Apr 18, 2016 at 13:25 comment added gerrit @user11198 Although cultural differences do matter, I'm not sure the tu/vous-distinction in most non-English languages of Europe is so helpful.
Apr 1, 2016 at 21:51 comment added user11198 Just a thought. Is it easier for a person with Asperger's in France because the French language (as well as Culture) is very structured so helps with social understanding. For example, you know immediately your social status in relation to someone else as soon as they speak to you (do they use 'tu' or 'vous')
Dec 19, 2013 at 10:40 comment added gerrit @Christian Could you elaborate on that? I have a (Dutch) Asperger diagnosis, but never had medicine for it, only "soft" treatment/training.
Dec 18, 2013 at 16:34 comment added Christian The political reason might just be that it easier for big pharma companies to buy public opinion in the US than in France.

May 16, 2013 at 5:10 comment added user3016 speaking from personal experience though, my nephew-in-law is being treated with amphetamines for ADHD and it's not doing any good. His mother also happens to be one of the worse parents I've ever seen. Even her family therapist told her straight out "Your son doesn't have a problem other than that you are his mother." I think it'd do the kid a lot of good if it wasn't just one therapist but the entire medical community that would tell her this hard-to-swallow truth. The poor kid will be lucky if someone doesn't shoot him in the face before he's 14.
May 16, 2013 at 5:05 comment added user3016 Not sure about any of this, since I just found out today by reading this article about the French alternative approach. I guess the only thing I can add is that the article indicates there are some benefits to the French approach over the American, as well as how your articles indicates quite importantly that there are problems with the French approach over the American. If anyone can provide more reference or material, I would be very interested and grateful!

Oct 31, 2012 at 22:11 comment added tcrosley In the US, public awareness of Asperger Syndrome has increased significantly since the debut of the TV series Parenthood in 2010. One of the characters, preteen Max Braverman has Asperger Syndrome in the show and several episodes have revolved around how he and his family have dealt with the disorder.
