Outline of Presentation

There appears to be several stages in the development of special interests and the presentation outlines the developmental sequence and the reasons why specific interests occur as part of the overall profile of Asperger's syndrome.  The perspective of parents, teachers and the person with Asperger's syndrome are explored and strategies outlined to make constructive use of the interest or to reduce the dominance of a specific interest in the person’s daily life.
