A deaf autistic savant moves into rural Texas farm country. The locals think he's a retarded recluse until his astounding inventions change their lives and give them new purpose. 1970s rural Texas: Larry Buddles is a deaf autistic savant in his 60s who moves to farm country to escape his critical peers in the world of science. His odd behavior soon unnerves the locals. At first, they think he's a crazy recluse until one day he saves the life of a crippled dog and his astounding genius is revealed. His world turns upside down when the world discovers the secrets Larry's been hiding. Local fame turns to rejection, plunging Larry into spiraling terror. Emotionally little more than a child, Larry's new life in Sanger, Texas forces him to grow up and face the real world while struggling to reconnect with his estranged daughter. Where once he was selfish and shunned religion in favor of science, this misfit man unexpectedly finds acceptance in a conservative evangelical community of people he once considered beneath him. Unbeknownst to Larry, his bond with Duke prepares him to face a life-or-death decision about his grandchild. The Misfit Man is a tale of mystery, intrigue, love and loss in which all those involved experience the world anew through the eyes of each other.

Me and Charley
Nine-year-old Trey's lonely, sad life as a fatherless misfit is changed forever when the new preacher's kid, the indomitable Charley, arrives. Everyone around Charley sees him as tragically handicapped. Not so Charley himself, who lives life to the full and pulls everyone around him along, starting with Trey. Watch them grow through challenges into young manhood and beyond. This is a revised and somewhat condensed version of this story. It started out life as a short story but its characters just took hold of me until it grew into what you have at hand. The characters and settings are an amalgam of a lifetime of experience, sometimes intense, of all sorts of people and places. In themselves, however, they are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, places or events, other than what is clearly public knowledge, is coincidental. If you're looking for sex in every paragraph, you need to look elsewhere.Complete
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

Flutter by, Butterfly
"Nothing happens by accident, Jani. Have you ever wondered what your parents do for a living?" "I don't know. I know my dad has a diamond mine and several other projects he is invested in." "One of those investments is in mind control. It encourages the development of altered personalities. It makes the individual much easier to manipulate, and control." Told through the eyes of young Jani, a 15 year old girl, meet Alejandro Jones: Hollywood's favorite, multi-talented poster boy. Jani is born to be his slave and has no idea. But nobody suspected that Alejandro would despise the system they were both sold into, and protect her at all costs. Even from his multi-personalities. *author's note... READERS BE WARNED: Rated mature, and there will be ugly violent things as well as beautiful things. What inspired this story is known as "The Monarch Project." The characters are all mine. All are fictional, and this story is based solely for the reader's entertainment. Though it was just a random Youtube video that inspired this tale, I would like to invite the viewers to focus on a man's true honor, even in the face of terrible temptation, and the need for parents to love and care for their children rather than toss them aside, or hurt them in any manner. And a woman's inner strength. Cover is handmade from watercolors.Complete

As the story goes on we find out more about the characters. most of the characters are disabled and all of the characters are LGBTQ+. If this is something you don't like or don't agree with then don't read this. THE ONLY AUTISTIC CHARACTERS ARE AMELIA AND MATTIE. Please don't call my non-autistic characters autistic. Yes I'm talking to you bob-steve, Aled said he was a disabled teen, which he is. your, "Disabled? He's autistic" comment didn't go unnoticed, even though you deleted it, Wattpad sends me emails, he isn't autistic, he just has pots. (targeted). that's all I hope you enjoy!!Complete
