For those with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) or High Functioning Autism (HFA), life can be complicated. Hypnosis has been proven to help with communication, socialization, self-esteem and much more.

Symptoms can be altered through hypnosis to narrow and intensify a focus of concentration and perception while diminishing awareness of outside stimuli. At Orlando Hypnosis Clinic, we offer solutions for AS that are tailored specifically to each individual symptom.

The following behaviors are often associated with AS. However, they are seldom all present in any one individual and vary widely in degree:

• limited or inappropriate social interactions
• “robotic” or repetitive speech
• challenges with nonverbal communication (gestures, facial expression, etc.) coupled with average to above average verbal skills
• the tendency to discuss self rather than others
• inability to understand social/emotional issues or non-literal phrases
• lack of eye contact or reciprocal conversation
• obsession with specific, often unusual, topics
• one-sided conversations
• awkward movements or mannerisms

AS often remains undiagnosed until a child or adult begins to have severe difficulties in school, the workplace or their personal lives. Indeed, many adults with AS receive their diagnosis when seeking help for related issues such as anxiety or depression. Diagnosis tends to center primarily on difficulties with social interactions.
