While Barnacles and Shellington kept their friendship strong during the mid to late-1980s to the early to mid-1990s. Pearl and Shellington just like their polar bear twins friends; have to go to Otter Scout Camp every summer, Sanda gave Young Shellington a Journal to write his thoughts and what he and his older sister did in Otter Scouts. For the first time in 30+ years, we can get to see Shellington's Otter Scouts years. And yes, this is connected to Young Shellington Sea Otter (OtterMAN Of Autism).

I made up an autistic character for children that has Autism.

It was the summer of 1987 in Perth, Scotland, and a young 7-year-old named Shellington Sea Otter struggled with controlling his emotions due to his autism. Whenever he became upset or encountered something he didn't like, he would have a meltdown. However, he found comfort in someone who understood him - a boy named Barnacles Jr. who also had autism. Together, they embarked on many adventures until Shellington was ready to face the world on his own. As he grew up, he faced numerous challenges, but he persevered and forged his path.

Here we go again with a new summer camp tale but don't be misled, dear readers, for we're not revisiting Camp Octopus-instead, we're off to SCOTLAND! This time, Captain Barnacles and Dr. Shellington take on the roles of camp counselors at their alma mater, while Tweak comes aboard at 'CAMP AUTISM', accompanied by AJ, Junior, and Gideon as the eager campers.
