A sixteen-year-old named Jake Hammerquist would like his fellow students would understand him better. In the article "'I'm Not Weird, Ok': Teen Suffering from Asperger's Wishes Other Students Saw Him Instead as Smart, Funny" the soon-to-be high school junior details in a poem he wrote last spring about the difficulties he encounters at school in Illinois.
Being a teen with Asperger's in high school is tough. I remember how hellish it was for me when I was in high school. Back then, I didn't know I had Asperger's. People picked on me and laughed at me intensely. I got upset very often and wondered why couldn't they see that I was intelligent. Socializing was hard.
Please, read this article. It provides great depth about being a teenager with Asperger's.
