Oh my god. Thank you kid. i'm exactly like that. a 13 year old like me suffers through Aspergers alot. Kid, you have taught me that I'm important. Thanks. I'm not a doctor, or social physician, but i know thats exactly what i am suffering.through. How people tease me. and how they slap me. (especially one kid who goes up to me and slaps me. and a stupid witch that sits next to me in second period. But people like you see what others cant. you are a smart kid. thank you.

Way to go Caleb! Well done and very informative. I hope the kids in your class learned something new and got a better understanding of the challenges you face day to day.

Wonderful Caleb! My two boys have Aspergers. When they saw your video they wanted to know if they could call you and if you could come play.

What a fantastic job!! You've done a wonderful job explaining what Asperger's is like and I'm excited to share your video with all my friends on facebook so they can have a better understanding what it's like for my 3rd grade son who has Aspergers. Thank you!

I really like Caleb for saying that speech. Because I know how it feels when you get teased and name called. In Middle school mostly all the way through Highschool I got teased and picked on because I was overweight. Now if I didn't have stage fright I would have maybe done a speech or something like that. I just waited until I got home and told my Mom what happened at school.
