(I DO NOT OWN LEGEND OF KORRA!!!)
-10 years ago when Korra was 7-
Korra was neatly coloring in the lines. She was inside a room with her parents, across from her sat a doctor. She had gray hair and blue eyes, wore a nice dark blue skirt, a white long sleeve with a blue jacket
"Have you two ever heard of Autsim Spectrum Disorder?" The woman asked
Senna raised her eyebrow. "Y-yes, why do you ask Katara?"
Katara let out a breath before answering. "Well, Korras test results came back. She does have Autism, however she is extremely high function. She had no problem communicating or explaining things. It does seem she will struggle socially, trying to talk to others, expressing emotion. It's nothing to fret over. I have a list of resources, groups, and therapy you can use to help support Korra"
Tonraq was shocked but smiled big
"Whatever we need to do, we'll do it, Korra means everything to us. We will do everything to make Korra feel loved, supported, and nurtured. "
Senna smiled and leaned on her husband's arm. "I agree."
Katara smiled at the two softly
"I'm glad to hear this, another big thing that did show up in her results. She had high sensory issues, and it seems to be for hearing, touch, and smell. It doesn't seem like she would hesitate with you two since she absolutely adores you. For her hearing, I have a list of noise canceling headphones to help her through the world, I have a few options to help her with touch. Weighted blanket, sensory swing, weighted stuffed animal. Just a few things."
Katara went to speak again but saw little Korra walk up to her parents
"I made this mommy and daddy!" Korra showed a nicely colored in drawing of a wolf in the forest
Senna and Tonraq smiled, Tonraq lifted Korra and held her close to him
"It's amazing, little pup. Thank you so much."
Korra leans her head on his shoulder and hums a reply
Katara smiled before continuing
"The biggest thing I always tell my patients is.... don't fret too much. Korra will grow up to be a strong young woman. And she has a very strong connection to you both. Our session is almost up. Here are the documents. One set is all the resources. The second set is all the paperwork that Korra will need in order to get support from schools. "
Senna took the documents and Korras drawing. Standing up, she smiled at Katara
"Thank you so much for this, Katara."
Senna waited for her husband to carry Korra out the door
"It's not a problem. See you again soon, " she leads the trio out the door before closing her door shut
Korra was playing with her dad's hair
"Daddy, am I weird?"
"No honey, you aren't weird. You are very spectacular, " he replies
"Like spider man!" Korra squeals
"Yes, just like him, but don't you ever forget that little pup, ok?" Tonraq gave Korra a gentle squeeze for pressure. Korra gently squeezed him back with a smile on her face
"I won't, Daddy. I won't forget"
The family left the doctors office and home, Tonraq and Senna weren't worried. They loved Korra unconditionally, this just gave them more of a reason to love their daughter- Present day second week of school -
Korra was sleeping in her room underneath her spider man covers. Hearing her alarm go off, it was a soft melody from one of her favorite games. Legend of Zelda, reaching over, she turns it off and slowly sits up. Next to her laid her big pure white Husky and German Shepard mix dog Naga. She gently rubbed Nagas ears
"Good morning, girl. Let's hope this week will be better than last"
Naga sat up and licked her owners cheek before leaning on her. Korra smiled and hugged her back
"Yeah, you're right. It's too early to be all doom and gloom. Are you ready to get breakfast?"
Naga barked a response, wagging her tail. Korra laughed and gently let her dog go. She got out of bed and walked to her closet. Grabbing one of her many pairs of Levi jeans. She grabbed the darker washed ones and a plain blue t shirt. Laying them on her bed, she changes from her pajamas to her outfit. Once done, she got up and walked to the bathroom across her room. Brushing her hair out, she put her hair in its three wolf tail style as her dad called it. Making sure she looked well, she brushed her teeth
"Korra, come on, it's breakfast time!" Tonraq called out from downstairs
She spit out into the sink
"Okay, dad, I'm coming!" She called, cleaning up in the bathroom. Once done, she turned off the light, walking back to her room. She grabbed her thick, dark blue hoodie. It had wool on the inside to keep korra warm. But had white trimmings on the cuffs and hood. Her blue Jansport backpack and her noise canceling headphones. Whistling for Naga, she heads downstairs and puts her items on the chair she sits down at.
"Did you sleep well, honey?" Senna asked, placing a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast in front of Korra
"Yes, mom, I did. Thank you for breakfast. " she takes a bite and bounces her leg, nervous for the day ahead. Tonraq instantly notices
"Korra, don't worry about today, ok? I know it's scary. But try to think postive, ok?" He said and smiled at his daughter
She looked at him and sighed
"I know, dad... it's just hard. My school smells weird. Everyone just pushes and shoves each other is makes me nervous. "
Tonraq held his daughters hand, giving it a squeeze
"Hey, remember you have your headphones and coloring book. If all else fails, you can always call us on your lunch break. "
Korra squeezes her hand back and smiles at her dad
"Thank you, dad. I'll remember, It's like what Miles said 'naw imma do my own thing.' " She smiled at her own joke before finishing up her breakfast. Senna collected the plates and put them in the sink
"Come on, Korra, let's go. You don't want to be late."
Nodding her head, Korra stood up and put on her jacket, zipping it up. She put her black headphones around her neck, going to the door. She pets Naga one more time
"We can go for a walk after school, Naga, I promise."
Naga barked happily and went back to the couch to lay on. Korra kneeled down and put on her dark blue and white Nike high top sneakers. Standing up, she followed her parents to the car-End of prolonge-
A/N: Okay, a few notes! Korra, like I said before, is more like me. I am very talkative and hug my parents. It's when I don't know a person I do freeze up. I also use noise canceling headphones and an adult coloring book to cope. Korra works out casually because it's a part of her routine. Other than that, she doesn't do any sports. She will also be more talkative and hyper around Mako, Bolin, and Asami as they are introduced. But it will take time. As far as that goes, I do hope you enjoy the chapter! Chapter 1 is coming soon!
