    Summary

    Shane spends his life trying and failing to be normal. Being different than others isolates him in ways he can't understand, until a late autism diagnosis finally gives him the vocabulary needed to explain himself and his experiences. At first, he's ashamed, but, with Ilya's help, he begins to see the aspects of himself that he spent years hating in a new, brighter light.

    OR

    4 times Shane is ashamed of his autistic traits and 1 time Ilya shows him that he doesn't have to be.
