Unfortunately he is not able to do many things on his own and is often at a loss for many opportunities high school gives to the majority of the population. I was given the chance of meeting him in my grade 10 year of high school. He branched out to me and seemed to take a liking towards me right away. I believe he trusted me based on of our first few encounters. For example every single day I would sit down with my friends to eat lunch in the same spot, and every single day he would come over and join my group and myself. He was often shy and didn’t say much at first but I sensed he didn’t feel as like he belonged. He showed all the signs of Autism spectrum disorder, he would often repeat things several times and often could not sit still. Nonetheless everyday he sat with me and we talked, sometimes short and sometimes long. I often found it hard to touch base with him and I could see he wanted to communicate but did not know how. Routine was his staple however to say the least, he did the same thing every day and usually did not break stride. The experience of having him sit with me was often a joyful part of my day; he was a bright and cheerful individual who never seemed to be
