Out of Place

Finn finally graduates high school, only to be violently thrown into the depths of adulthood. With no support system to help him navigate the world, his autism becomes a towering obstacle in every daily endeavor. Finding a job was hard enough; finding any real comfort in this new life proves even harder. He clings to fragments of his old routine, burying himself in books--as always--to shield himself from the anxiety of independence. However--for the first time--he finds someone who draws him into the real world, fighting against his deep-seated urge to disappear from it. Despite it being new and intimidating, he allows his own curiosity to pull him in further.

After years of longing to be 'normal' and self-induced isolation, he pushes himself to reach out.
