(A fictitious acrostic poem written by a young boy recently diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome)

                                                                     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.
