His best friend is either his school helper, Siobhan or his pet rat, Toby; of whom he seems very close to! Often, because of their lack of sensitivity in what they say and how they say it, Autistic people frequently aren't offered much sympathy because the Autistic person may have unintentionally been rude, and ... more
