How to help a friend with aspergers

[gtjames77]

Hi, my best friend has aspergers syndrome, I met him last year and he seemed perfectly fine and was surprised when he told me he had it. However, in the last few months he seems to have deteriorated quite badly, i have helped him through many problems and they seem to get more frequent and over smaller things, for example the other day he got upset about not having a cupcake which led to a bigger problem. I seem to help him through his problems and to be honest it really puts a lot of pressure on me, and the help doesn't seem to be long-term either. I want to know a way of helping him in the long-term, and wondered wether anyone knows any solutions? Also, he doesn't see any type of psychiatrist or anything like that, he used to but he says he doesn't like them, however i wonder whether it could be good for him to see one? Oh and I forgot to mention that he's 16 years old. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give as it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
James
