The Sides Of Ourselves We Do Not See

Aiden Weinfield is a 17 year old boy with thixophobia (fear of being touched) and extreme social anxiety which causes him to stutter and not able to look people in the eye. He is not that self-confident which causes him to blush at even the slightest compliments and innuendoes. His mother thinks that since he's seventeen he should finally be able to go to school. Since he is a only child his mother never thought of him being homeschooled as a problem, but she wants him to finally be social. His dad? Aiden hasn't seen his dad since he was 11. His father thought he was messed up and told him to not see him until he (Aiden) gets rid of his "problems". Can a mix up of a class, or maybe not a mix up, change his life for the better?
