Browsing thru 2 books I received from Amazon.com yesterday, I found this interesting poem. It is written my CJ, AS teens, which is captured in the book as one of the AS case study.
Obviously, my aim of reading these books is to understand better about this syndrome and to be able to communicate well with experts/professionals in this area and teachers. Ultimately to help my lil man to excell in his learning process.
I Am
by CJ Briggs
I am a thinker and a dreamer.
I wonder about everything.
I hear the calmness of the waves
from the ocean each night.
I see the beauty of the sunrise
every morning.
I am a thinker and a dreamer.
I pretend to be tougher than I am.
I feel what the people around me feel.
I touch what I think should be touched.
I worry about the fate of my fellow man.
I cry over the suffering before death.
I am a thinker and a dreamer.
I understand who I am.
I say what is on my mind.
I dream about a peaceful world.
I try my best to make the world a better place.
I hope someday, someway, I will make a difference.
I am a thinker and a dreamer......
