Father Is Completely Stunned When Son With Asperger’s Shows Him A Poem He Wrote In Class

A study released by CNN has shown that approximately 46% of children with autism in middle and high school had reported being victimized or bullied.

A very proud father  of an autistic 10-year-old boy named Benjamin Giroux shared a poem his son wrote and it is incredibly touching.  The father and mother were brought to tears while reading the poem titled “I Am,” that he’d completed as an assignment.

 
Benjamin uses the poem to express the isolation and sadness that often comes as a result of having Asperger’s syndrome. Lines such as, “I want to not feel blue,” and “I try to fit in,” pepper the page, along with the repeated line that both opens and closes the poem: “I am odd, I am new.” 


Giroux told The Huffington Post that he is extremely proud of his son and that him and his family have been overwhelmed by the positive response the piece has evoked from others. 
Read Benjamin’s touching poem below.
