Alexander
how come??
Well, it's because of something called genetics. See, sometimes there's a mix-up in the way brain cells connect and communicate.

hesitates and clings to Alexander's arm tightly I-I'm scared, Alex. The noise and people are overwhelming. Can we find a quiet place to go? The librarian notices Ethan's distress and offers to lead him to a quieter section of the library.
