asperger dramedy highschool teen youngadult

Are we all victims of circumstance and environment? If so, what next? 17 year-old Erin Miles, with his over-protective parents and his autistic-spectrum sister has had more than one chance in his life to reflect on these questions, and doesn't have an answer. New to the 'city', and fairly indifferent to the change, he learns more about this than he thought he could through friendships with new people who've struggled with the same questions for years, and comes to see things from a whole new perspective.

Contains: coarse language, adult themes

NOTE: There is a poem I wrote which I intend to have at the beginning of this story. However, since it seems less than half the people who read it went on to read any of the story itself, I've taken it out for at least the time being.
