1963

"My entire life I have been in this place. This place that is my forever home. Smiths Grove. The doctors said that 'she has autism with 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐳𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐜 tendencies.' They tell me that its something that they can fix and be cured of."

"Yet I stayed. With my collection of dolls and colorful drawings that I hang up on my boring white walls. There was a small blonde boy that came in yesterday. He was quiet and really weird. The doctors told me his name."

(I'll try my best to do research on schizophrenia and try to make it as accurate as possible. As someone who has autism I know full well on how it works. There are different levels of it, I have high functioning. But with the main character she has it more severe then I do but still can take care of herself half the time. Sorry for the small note I hope you enjoy the story!)
