Sara Kendrick Poet Clerihew

Sheldon Cooper

One of the stars on The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper
Thinks constantly about himself as being so super

Asperger's Syndrome is what his symptoms loudly proclaim
As he works out scientific formulas but seems not sane    

People who suffer from Asperger's Syndrome often show
intense focus, highly logical thinking, and exceptional 
abilities in math or science.  This disorder is considered
part of the Autism Spectrum and is probably inherited.
If there is Alzheimer's in one's family there is increased
risk of Autism or Asperger's Syndrome to show up in 
the offsprings..

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2014 at 9:06 PM by the way, you chose one of my favorite sitcoms that is on the air.

Andrea Dietrich May 25, 2014 at 9:06 PM Sara, I never really thought before of him having asperger's. I guess because I always equate that illness with the sufferers shouting out obscenities uncontrollably. He definitely is autistic though. congrats. you only need to do a little weeding with these clerihew. cut the lines shorter and you will do really well with them.

Robert Johnson May 23, 2014 at 5:03 PM Jim Parson's is the best. Sooo entertaining. When it comes to sitcom's, the quirkier the better. His character makes you keep coming back for more. Let's face it. That show's hilarious. Enjoyed Sara.

Carolyn Devonshire May 22, 2014 at 3:57 PM Dear Sara, Your knowledge of medical conditions always amazes me. I've seen the show dozens of times, but had never realized Sheldon has Asperger's Syndrome. A friend has a son with this. I should have known. Thank you for enlightening me and I wish you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
