Out Of Control
George hasn't had an easy life after being diagnosed with autism. Going to a public school as an autistic, highly intelligent boy, he clearly notices the differences between his classmates and himself, giving him a lot of insecurity and shame about his own behaviour. As his escape, he goes to a bakery for hours a day to calm his mind, but things change when a new boy who moved is hired. Unexpectedly, and for the first time, George decides to open himself up to the new boy, Clay, while at the same time, Clay slowly starts falling for his new best friend, George. Mostly fluff with some angst every now and then! ⚠️ I wrote this book from my own experience and my own mindset, as someone with diagnosed autism, highly intelligent and ADHD. I DON'T think people with autism are childish or cute, I'm not projecting a stereotype. This is from my own struggles with autism at a public school without special needs.Complete

A/N in my reality Harry has always had a disability but it was never discovered until I wrote this book. I know you can't catch a disability but it's called made up for a reason. In this book you can catch or not discover disability. A/N I am changing some chapters too help people understand if they don't understand my thoughts progress Harry autism comes from watching Sherlock and Sheldon from Big Bang theory their memory was fantastic. Harry in fifth year in potion trying to do his class but Professor Snape keeps saying he's doing everything wrong so he storms of to headmaster and makes an interesting arrangement and discovered something he never knew he had. In this story there will Snarry eventually and also Bellatrix isn't married and Mpeg will happen eventually not sure maybe 6th for last year. A/N for this story I made up my own spells and own information about the subject. There's no Unbridge teaching it's mad eye Moody. Voldemort won't be mentioned for a while. Harry's aunt and uncle are somewhat supportive they notice things about Harry that's differently. I also am making up potion names and ingredients and the different laws of magic. A/N for this story I have picked out most character patronus and animagus it won't be copying the film.Complete
