Article about Asperger syndrome

After reading the article “Child with Asperger syndrome often live in fear of teasing, bullying”, there are two thoughts come to my mind. The first one is about our project of Asperger syndrome. The second on is a connection of this article to my real-life experience with a friend who also has Asperger syndrome.

        Since our English project for this term is to research on Asperager syndrome, I found out that this article about the issues of children who are afflicted with Asperger syndrome interesting. Before I read the article, Asperger syndrome, to me, is merely one type of autism, but I have a deeper or a general of what Asperger syndrome is. Also, the article concerns about how the society should do to help the children. I believe that lots of money will be needed for those who suffers from Asperger syndrome. Therefore, I think government should help the children either by financial aids or free special educations. And according to the estimate in the article that 1 in 166 children will have such problem, the problem will need a immediate solution, so the suffering of both the child and the parents can be alleviated.

        The article also reminds me about one of my friends in junior high school. He has Asperger syndrome, therefore he always interrupt classes in inappropriate timing. He did not go to any special educational center or organization, but instead he came to our school. Classmates were first curious about why he acting so weird, and when they found out he was suffered with mental disability, people start to tease him and even bully him. The kid had no idea about what was going on, and his syndrome started to deteriorate. Eventually, he started to hurt himself by cutting his wrist. Although I was not the one who teases him, but I felt sorry for him that I did not try to help him at the time, even till today, I still feel guilty when I think about him. People who suffered from Asperger syndrome really need the help of ours, and we should not tease or even discriminate them because of their misfortune. People were all born equal. Even though they are different from, but instead of step aside, what we really need to do is to help them and alleviate their suffering.
