Depending on the severity of AS doctors might recommend medication but it is not that common. The other treatment includes having a behaviorist therapist that can help guide a person with AS to gain better social skills. When working with the a behaviorist it is necessary to set goals on what can be accomplished in a social environment ( Toth & King, 2008). Another way to help an individual that has AS is to have family and friend support that will help the individual get through social interactions that can cause anxiety.
