Bryant
“Mrs. Cole May I see Bryant?” I ask shyly. “Oh, hi Taylor I was not expecting you in here today, but sure you can see Bryant.” Mrs. Cole replies and goes to get Bryant. I wait for a while and Mrs. Cole is back. “ why are you here today Taylor?” Mrs. Cole asks. I reply, “Well I wanted to ask you about Bryant’s condition.” I say shyly.
Mrs. Cole gives me a weird look, “come sit at the table with me.” She says while Bryant is saying well I don’t know what he was saying it was mostly just jumbled words you could not understand. Me and Mrs. Cole sit at a small colorful table. She says, “What do you want to know about Bryant?”
I don’t want to say anything wrong so I simply say, “ why does he act the way he acts and why does he not know how to speak well?”. The second I said it I knew I said something wrong because whenever you say something weird or wrong the teachers have a special look they give you that says, “what did you just say?!?!?!” Witch is the exact look she gave me.
I could feel my face flush red. She said, “Well Bryant has something called A.S and before you ask what A.S stands for, it stands for Asperger syndrome.” I give her a look that says “What?!” She understands and says. “It is a form of autism but not as severe to the brain.” She realized I still don’t understand so she says, “Let’s take a visit to the library maybe we can find more information on A.S there than from an old woman like me.” she gives a little chuckle after that. I laugh a little to. Mrs. Cole, Bryant, and I all go to the library. CHNK! CHNK! The door screams on our way into the library.
Good start, Mahi. I am eagerly looking forward to what chapter 2 will bring. Keep at it!!
Keep it up Mahi.
What an amazing thought process and choice of words for a young 4th grader?! Looking forward to read and also learn about the topic. God bless you young lady! ??
Mahi, great thoughts and efforts. Like the way you express your thoughts.
Good going, Mahi!! God bless.
Mahi …excellent job. Keep writing. Keep encouraging people around you. ?
Love the concept of your story, Mahi. Most everyone has a preconceived notion of what mental illness is and what individuals with these “disabilities” can do and achieve (or rather cannot). To that effect, conveying your knowledge from the perspective of someone newly learning about mental health and autism spectrum disorders is a wonderful idea. It will be very interesting to go on this educational journey with you. I’m excited to see what we find in the library about Asperger Syndrome next chapter!
Excellent Mahi! Great choice of words. It kept me intrigued to read more. You have a great future ahead of you.
Eagerly waiting for chapter 2… keep writing Mahi !
