We’re very proud to present the next edition of Wisecrackin’ with Lewis Schofield—video jokes that will make you laugh so hard, you’ll laugh and a half.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Irked Magazine’s esteemed Alphabet Souperintendent, please allow Lewis to introduce himself:

I’m a kid with Asperger Syndrome and a lot of other disabilities like Anxiety Disorder, Sensory Integration Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Learning Disabilities, Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities, Severe Allergies and Asthma. I also have myasthenia gravis.

 

Like my mom says, just because I have an alphabet soup of disorders doesn’t mean that I am alphabet soup. I’m a professional kid with Asperger’s and cool ideas.

Laughter is a truly extraordinary medicine.

Lewis Schofield tells a mean one-liner.

You’re about to crack up

split your sides

and be in stitches.

So prepare to feel better.

Lewis Schofield: reporting on the future of Lewiscorp.

For quite some time—since I was 4 years old—I’ve talked about building my own company called Lewiscorp. From time to time, people ask me if Lewiscorp intends to acquire Microsoft at some point in the future. To that question I answer, “No.” Click to continue »

Elyse Bruce (Founder, midnightinchicago.com):

We interviewed Douglas Giesel who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lewis, who talks about Asperger Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis. Both interviews are very enlightening as they discuss the obstacles of invisible disabilities and how the outside world reacts to those with invisible disabilities.

Douglas talks about his MS and about the stereotypes he used to have about Autism. He even uses the phrase “… something that IRKS me to no end …” Hahaha!

And then there’s the ever delightful Lewis and he has a lot to say about Autism, about his new school situation, about his latest diagnosis and more.”

I have had Asperger’s Syndrome all my life but it was only diagnosed when I was 5 years old. There is no cure for AS because it is not a disease. A very comprehensive study was conducted and the findings were revealed in February 2007 proving that autism is genetic. That means that I was born with AS just like I was born with brown eyes.

A poem by Sarah C., age 10

I know what it’s like to be different

I know how it is to be strange,

all eyes on you, people whispering, snickering and laughing.

You have to say to yourself 

there’s something wrong with them too.
