OK, so this is my second story from Gary's POV. My other isn't on Fanfiction…yet :)
I hope I did him justice; I was focusing on a boy I know from school who was Low-Functioning Autistic. I would always play with him at recess, and he's the only real experience I have with Autistic people. A lot of what I write from Gary's POV is based off of Wikipedia.
Sometimes, I can't handle it. Everyday all I get is streams from everything. YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, Samsung, just everything. And that hum is back from across the street, it's unbearable. The worst thing is, it's starting to get worse. Whenever I feel good inside, I start getting information from stuff I usually can't. Nokia, T.V., one time I even saw colors coming from the microwave.
I don't like being happy, I try not to be. And every time I complain or try to get help Bill interrupts and says 'It's a Gary thing!' or Hicks just shrugs his shoulders. Even Dr. Rosen told me 'Not now Gary, later after I'm done with this paperwork'. It seems like everyone is always, always, talking about being a team and helping each other. But no one helps me. No one listens to what I have to say, they don't take me seriously unless it helps me.
I thought we were friends, but obviously not. Anna helped me, Anna listened to me, and Anna was nice to me. Anna treated me like an equal, even though I think she gets more from her job. Why shouldn't I go help Anna, she's only helped me. Wouldn't it be rude to leave her? Dr. Rosen told me Red Flag was bad, but I've never seen them do anything bad. Was Dr. Rosen lying?
I used to call Dr. Rosen Dad. I'd never had a Dad before, but Dr. Rosen took care of me like my Mom did. Mom says I don't have a Dad; I have a Father who was scared of what I could do. She said he left, because he's a coward. I think she blames me, just a little bit, for Father leaving. I don't have any memory of him. Mom says she regrets dating him, does that mean she regrets me? I just don't know anymore.
Maybe I should find Anna; she's been the only nice person to me. And she has a problem too! Like me, Dr. Rosen thought it was the same, but it wasn't because she can communicate. I miss Anna a lot, I only knew her for two days, and she is the only person that doesn't look at me like they're sad. I wish people would treat me like I'm normal. But even if I didn't have, what was the word again? Autism? Yeah, even if I didn't have Autism I would still be an Alpha.
I watch the normal people, like Mom, Dr. Rosen, and Bill, do stuff that seems impossible. They can speak so clearly, they have no problem with talking to people. They can open laptops, they can understand people's emotions, and they have an easy life.
Why was I the one that got stuck with Autism and headaches?
