Adam is a twelve year old student in Grade 7 with Asperger's Syndrome and he truly is "interesting and funny".   When I read Adam's poem last night I  found it very expressive and insightful, and thought immediately of the KPAS newsletter.  I think he would be thrilled to see his poem in print (as would I!)

"I Am" Poem     

 I am interesting and funny,

I wonder if T.V. will ever stop being cool,

I hear noises,

I see the world,

I want LEGO Star Wars II,

I am interesting and funny.

I pretend one of my friends didn't move away,

I feel empowered,

I touch air,

I worry about my friends,

I cry over slavery,

I am interesting and funny.

I understand the Titanic,

I say words,

I dream about a world without homework,

I try to not fail grades,

I hope that I will at one time know everything,

I am interesting and funny.
