Simon is autistic and his mum, Simone, is in despair. He doesn't speak, he doesn't make eye contact and she wonders whether he will ever be able to communicate with her, or indeed, with anyone else. Simon's dad wants a son he can be proud of, one he can watch playing footie on a Saturday morning - not a silent, withdrawn child, unable to connect with anyone or anything in his world.
Handsome Hero is a beautiful, sleek, black racing greyhound. He's at his peak, winning a fortune for his owners, a six-man syndicate who bask in his reflected glory, sending their wives and girlfriends flowers every Monday morning, after another huge win at the track until...
Hero crashes into the dog in the next lane and his injuries are so bad, it's clear he will never race again. Will Simon ever learn to speak? Will Hero survive his fall? Will Simon's mother ever allow him his own pet dog? More importantly, will she ever learn how to cook? Find out by following Hero and Simon's stories, chapter by chapter, in this heartwarming tale about a boy and a dog.

The Spectrum
Beck is top of her class when it comes to Maths and Science and her future seems bright. However, she struggles with social anxiety and relationships. Beck is autistic and spends most of her life locked away in her own mind as she reads her collection of books to escape her abusive alcoholic father. But once her eyes meet a grey eyed boy from across the room her world won't be the same. (18+ violence, adult themes, bullying, harassment and other issues) Being Autistic myself I have put a lot of me in this book. I've exaggerated certain aspects for entertainment values but other than that this is how awkward I feel most of the time. I don't see many books by women who write about their experiences in a creative way to spread awareness in a fun and compassionate way. This is mine I guess. I hope you enjoy this short story.Complete
Arlon and Liliana - Love in The Midst of Family Feud
This story delves into the narrative of a couple fighting for their love. This story features my original characters, Arlon and Liliana, mascots of my ideal romantic love. Within this narrative, we witness the teenage Arlon and Liliana embarking on a profound struggle for their love. Arlon, grappling with the challenges of Autism, finds himself locked in a relentless battle for acceptance within his family, who remain ensconced in denial regarding his condition. This, in turn, engenders vehement criticism of his deepening bond with the unwaveringly supportive Liliana. On the other hand, Liliana's fervent devotion propels her into the fray, as she willingly confronts the formidable resistance posed by Arlon's parents in her unwavering pursuit of her beloved autistic boy, Arlon. I consider this story to be "Apocryphal" for I'm not sure if I will include this to the canon of the Arlon and Liliana series, but one thing is sure that this narrative is originally written as a loose reflection of the family I'm living with, as loosely draws its inspiration from the trials and tribulations I endured during my formative teenage years, a period marked by my recent diagnosis of Autism.Complete

All nine-year-old Matthew Reusha has ever wanted was a dog. He can't connect with his parents, who believe he's nonverbal from spite, and he can't connect with the boy across the street who beats him up for playing with his toys. All at once, Matthew discovers a magical stray blue dog outside his window who takes him on adventures, and more importantly, on a journey to connect with the people who misunderstood him most. I wrote this story when I was 11 years old and am finally publishing it on WattPad for my YouTube audience.Complete

"So if I say, you should bark like a dog, what are you gonna do, Stella." "Spit on your face." I lashed out. "You barked. Loud. Let's see how loudly that voice barks." She shifted the tiny screen of my hair to look into my eyes. The sly expression on her face belies her extreme lack of character. And how long will these days, months, and years be? "Bark!" She commanded. "Ugh...eugh!" I grunted. I then exhaled. If I didn't bark, I would have failed my father.

Wild Hearts
Anxious. Alone. Afraid. Aiden Griffin never asked to be any of these things, but they define his existence, shaping every moment, ruining any chance for connections, and carving deeper into him with every passing day. His life is a quiet battle, one fought in solitude-lost in the woods, wandering through forgotten cemeteries, and navigating the decaying corners of an uncaring city. He's far from the world that's hurt him, but the words still haunt, sharp and unforgiving. Isolated by the cruelty of those around him, Aiden often feels like an outsider, his mind swirling with thoughts that others can't understand. His autism makes it harder to connect, leaving him drifting in the shadows, struggling to navigate a world that feels overwhelming and unkind. His parents are distant, and no one at school seems to notice that the golden boy everyone admires is the one person Aiden fears most. Then comes Ryder McCallum-charismatic, wild, and fearless. With a smile that could charm anyone and a penchant for adventure and bold risks, Ryder steps into Aiden's life like a whirlwind, challenging everything he's ever known. Ryder dares Aiden to step beyond the cage of his own fears, to be something more than the walls he's built around himself. But Aiden is wary, his heart too tethered to its darkness to trust the light Ryder brings. With every reckless adventure they embark on, Aiden starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he's meant for something more. As their friendship evolves into something more profound than either of them anticipated, Aiden finds himself drawn to Ryder, a boy as unpredictable as he is magnetic-a boy who slips away just as quickly as he arrives, leaving Aiden to question if he's chasing a dream. But no matter how elusive Ryder becomes, one thing remains undeniable: for the first time, Aiden feels alive with a love that makes him believe in something greater than himself, and he'll do whatever it takes to hold on.Complete![Aurelia Potente ✓ [Unedited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/301116757-256-k783750.jpg)
