You know-I was thinking,if we- who call ourselves "normal"-would learn a few things from those who call themselves "aspergers" we might not get so stressed with what goes on around us! And wouldn't we have avoided a lot of pain if we hadn't been so concerned about what other people thought of us! If we would be more forgiving and less judgemental we would avoid hurting the feeling of those that mean so much to us. And if we would avoid hurting other people feeling we would be much better friends. Why do we try to put everyone in a mold and make a call as to who gets called "normal" and who needs a different title? If we would stop trying so hard to put a title on every quirk a person has and be more excepting of all personalities we'd all be better off.

People call me Aspergers, I really don't know why,
Just because I think different shouldn't make you cry.
I still enjoy life, even though I see things different,
And when you tell me what to do I try to be obedient.

I love to learn new things and life is so amazing,
Each day is another start,who knows what it may bring.
Maybe a brighter sun or maybe a real strong wind,
Or maybe someone who's down and I can be their friend.

I have a nack for storing details, in this brain of mine,
Depend on me to have the answer, when you forget your line.
And if you need historical facts, to pass that test of yours,
Just ask me,I have the answer,how else would I get good scores?

Saturday chores are no problem, I'll get up and get right to 'em,
You know me, I like the schedule, without it I'd die of bordem.
So tell me again, why do you cry when someone says "Aspergers"
I have so many positive traits, that I can use for others.

I believe, as parents (and this could be for any child but especially aspergers) if we really take the time to understand our childs deepest interest and provide everything possible for success in that area of interest the aspergers child can go far in life! They will throw their whole being into that one area and go far with it!
