Acroustic Poem
Aspergers is what they say I suffer from.
Startled very easily.
Problems with taking others point of view.
Everyone seems to worry about how I behave.
Routines are a big part of my day.
Great tendency for compulsive behavior.
Enigma to class mates
Relationships are hard to develop.
Smart, maybe smarter than you.
Startled very easily.
Problems with taking others point of view.
Everyone seems to worry about how I behave.
Routines are a big part of my day.
Great tendency for compulsive behavior.
Enigma to class mates
Relationships are hard to develop.
Smart, maybe smarter than you.

2. Audience- The poem is written to the public.
3. Say Back- The poem is describing characteristics of a child with aspergers. It also describes the child's emotional side by telling how he feels
4. Bless- I like the line "Smart, maybe smarted than you" I choose this line becuase it lets the reader be aware that a person with aspergers does not have deficits in all areas- they are often extremely gifted in specific areas.
5. Address: I choose the line: "Everyday is a challenge" as the line you may want to consider addressing because I think this statement could paint a negative picture in the readers mind about aspergers. Especially for those that know nothing about the disorder. It really is more of a challenge for the parents or caregivers rather than the individual.

2. Audience: The poem is written to the public.
3. Say Back: The poem is discussing how the child feels and how Asperger's effects his everyday life.
4. Bless: I really like the last line "Smart, maybe smarter than you." So many people believe that people with autism are not intelligent, when really they are often very intelligent.
5. Address: You might want to include the fact that the child has Asperger's in your poem. I realize that you are using the word to start each line, but it would make it clearer if you included it in the actual poem.
