Matthew's First Story

Our son Matthew (9) wants to follow in his father's footsteps and be a writer. Tonight he wrote the following story and asked if I would post it on my site. Of course I said "YES" so here it is. Pretty good for a great little guy with Asperger's Syndrome, an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The Boy:

The boy is playing in the water.
He is 10 years old. He has a cat and a dog.
He has a lot of candy. His favorite food
is tacos & pizza. He has a brother named
Tom. His cat's name is Willow. His dog's

name is Clifford. He loves to watch

TV and play trains.

THE END

These are the colors Matthew used in his original composition. I'm not sure why he picked these but knowing Matthew, he'd have a good explanation!
