To see this poetry book come to life is such an amazing
achievement for my darling Yasmin. When she rst started writing
poems at the age of 9 I was surprised how she expressed herself in
the words of the poems. Having been diagnosed with aspergers
syndrome at the age of 7 I was told that Yasmin would have
di culty expressing herself, and showing empathy would always
be an issue for her. However seeing the content of her poems
another story is told. She has no di culty expressing herself in
words and as a result of nding ease in words Yasmin has become
more con dent in expressing herself in social situations.
Although aspergers is something that Yasmin deals with on a
daily basis it is not something that dictates who she is. She may
have a diagnosis of aspergers but it does not have control over
her. She has found within herself a way to express her thoughts
and feelings through the words of her poems.
It is her dream that through her book... e Way I see e World
other people with aspergers or people living with aspergers will
see, that although the aspergers may have limitations attached to
it, they like Yasmin have limitless potential to be who they want
to be and not what society dictates they should be.
My darling Yasmin I love you and I am very proud to be your
mum. ank you for opening my understanding and for allowing
me to wake up to the truth of who I can be.
