Trying

A lonely 15 year old boy, Alton has lived his whole life alone; never one to make friends, his sense of not belonging has led him to a sheltered life, away from people, from activities of all sorts. Upon entering the tenth grade, everything changes. Alton finds himself in three classes with Elvira, a student Alton hasn't known for long and whom he quickly, inexplicably falls in love with. His world falls into chaos upon his diagnosis with autism, throwing yet another hurdle in his way as he struggles to balance his feelings with school and the secret Elvira reveals to him.
