Children with Asperger syndrome tend to have a more difficult time communicating when they go to school or when they are in a social environment other than home. In order to share experiences, ideas and information about Asperger syndrome, many parents and specialists created associations, foundations and other centers to help them better understand the nature of this syndrome, and thus be able to help their children.

& 34; You are different, but you are neither more nor less than them and them. So if you notice that they make fun of you, missing you in the most heartless way, ignore them & 34 ;. This is just one of the powerful phrases included in an emotional letter that a mother dedicates to her son with Asperger's syndrome; a letter in which this woman, who has not wanted to reveal her identity, talks about how important her son is to her, sends him a message of strength and explains what is happening to him.

Insults, humiliations, lack of respect ... All this is what Rubén, a boy with Asperger's syndrome, had to go through during his school years. And, all, because it was difficult for him to relate to others, he did not understand jokes, jokes, double meanings, or phrases with irony. Such was the situation, that when he reached high school, Rubén even thought about suicide.

& 34; Never change the way you are & 34 ;. This is the forceful message that a girl with Asperger's syndrome who suffers from bullying has wanted to write in an emotional letter that makes her hair stand up and that the young woman has written as a result of a job for Valentine's Day. We do not know the name of this young woman who lives in a small town in northern Spain, but we do know that she is 15 years old and that she always says that she is & 34; happy & 34;, although her mother knows that she has a horrible pain inside.
