Hey people! I got a few reviews on my other story 'Fine'. I know it's short and rushed. Thank you for telling me that I should make my stories a little longer and add more information. That is helping me with this story. Thank you for the constructive criticism. :)
LoveShipper: Poor poor Austin.
Here is the story! :)
I sat there staring at this letter. The daycare said that they think I should take Alec to the doctors. To see if he has Aspergers. I can't believe it. I grabbed my computer and looked up the symptoms of Aspergers:
Problems with social skills
Ok yeah. Alec has only one friend but he does kinda...no he has no social skills. Check on this one.
Eccentric or repetitive behaviors
He does chew on his sleeves. Check.
Communication difficulties
He doesn't look in people's eyes when he talks. Check.
Limited range of interests
He does have an obsession with math. Check.
Coordination problems
He is kinda clumsy. Check.
Skilled or talented
He is skilled with math. Check.
Difficulties showing love.
He doesn't really like showing affection. Check. I called the doctor and made an appointment. I need to know. As soon as I hung up there was a knock on the door. I went to and opened the door. I saw Austin.
"Um I. I need to borrow your computer," he said. "The power went out at Trish's house. She and Dez are on a date so she texted me to email Jimmy. My phone died right went I said sure. I'm guessing you'll say yes because you're in love with me like every other girl."
"Oh. I guess," I said. I'm trying to be nice because of what Trish told me. It's hard though. He opened my computer and emailed Jimmy. When he was done, he stood by the door. I was confused.
"Why was a page about Aspergers open?" he asked me. Dang it! I forgot about that. I looked at him dumbfounded. I just pushed him out the door and slammed it in his face. He kept knocking on the door. I locked the door and went to me room. I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling. Soon he stopped knocking and I fell asleep.
A couple of weeks later.
I was sitting here with Alec, Riley, Trish and Dez. He wanted them to be here when we find out if he had Aspergers. He was holding the letter with shaky hands. He asked them to put the answer in a letter so he could be surprised like his second parents(he calls Trish and Dez his second parents.) and Riley.
He opened the letter and read it out loud:
"Dear Mr. Alec Dawson,
We would like to let you know that you have the spectrum of high functioning Autism or Aspergers. We would like you to go to therapy to let give you more information about it.
Thank you,
Miami Area Hospital(1)
So I have Aspergers," he said.
"I'll never look at you differently," Riley said, hugging him. Riley is right. We shouldn't look at him differently. He smiled but didn't put his arms around her. He awkwardly hugged her back. When he cries, he shows affection because he hugs me. Otherwise he doesn't really so that's why he didn't hug her back.
"I guess I know why I'm so different from other kids," he said. "Not because I'm adopted but because I have a disorder that makes me different." He smiled. We all hugged him. I guess he's really happy to know more about himself and that we except him for who he is.
I know it's short but I wanted to let you know more about Alec.
Message: Now you may be wondering if I know anything about high functioning Autism, also known as Aspergers. I actually do because I know people with it. My cousin has it and he's doing awesome! He graduated this year and got accepted to the school he wanted to go to. I believe we can do whatever we want to do if we try. You can be a teacher, lawyer, rock star, fashion designer, hobo(I don't judge) or anything else if you try. If anyone tells you that you can't do it. Do what Ally did in Dancers and Ditzes and show then that they are wrong! Also remember that I believe in you!
Message # 2: I want to have Austin adopt a child. So if you have ideas for the character tell me: Full Name, Nicknames, Age, grade(if is old enough for school) gender, hair(color,curly/wavy/straight,length), eye color, ethnicity, why were they in a foster home/adoption place, how did Austin find out about this child
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or anything you recognize
Thanks for reading
