Lindyloo Report post Posted July 6, 2009 I just felt I had to share this with people that understand. DS is 9. We have recently completed all the multi agency assessments to get his diagnosis. We are waiting for the results, but things are looking like he will be diagnosed with AS. As part of anti bullying week, they had to write an anti bullying poem at school. DS usually struggles with creative writing, but he got a merit for his. This is what he wrote...... I am a Person I am the person who pretended to be ill I am the person you wanted tp kill I am the persom whose toughness was high I am the person who still had to cry I am the person who wanted to be cool I am the person you used as a tool I am the person you wanted to destroy I am the person who was just a boy But I am a person ....... who knows how it feels What really brought the tears to my eyes was when he said " It was easy Mummy - I just wrote aout me" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOSEY Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Bloomin 'eck! I'm nearly in tears just reading that now! What an emotionally intelligent wee boy you have there. I'm glad that the school rewarded his hard work - they must have been blown away when they read that! Mo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sally44 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 That is brilliant. But it's a combination of great work, and from his experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joybed Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Wow that has made me cry as well partly as I see my boys go through it and occasionally my girl too and also because i was bullied at school and that pretty much sums it up. So glad they rewarded him for that. Well done, good luck with the outcome of the assessments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mum of 3 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 And the uninformed think AS means no feelings.................... Still waters run deep, don't they? Wonderful poem, Lindyloo...school should keep a copy with their anti-bullying policy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindyloo Report post Posted July 9, 2009 school should keep a copy with their anti-bullying policy! Thank you all for your kind words. DS was very pleased when I told him that other people liked his poem as well. I certainly intend to keep a copy for our records. It expresses how he feels far better than he is ever able to do when asked directly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempus Report post Posted July 22, 2009 I've got to say that poem is pretty much perfect in my opinion; simplistic but it puts its message across very effectively (which is great because poetry is normally incredibly cryptic, at least to me). Very sad too; hits very close to home. I'm glad to hear that you've passed on people's congratulations to your son; very deserving and I hope you'll pass on mine too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
