So I woke with this idea that turned into a story I am calling Change in Perspective. And I want to know how you would feel about this concept, would it work, do you think ud be interested or does it sound lame? Anything ud have to say good or bad will not bother me just as long as ur honest. So here is my story.
A boy the age of 16 or 17 lives a somewhat normal life. At home with a dad, mom and two older sisters he wakes every morning with a smile on his face ready to tackle the world. He goes to school has but one friend for he is not popular. Laughed at by most but tries to pay no mind. Gives everything hes got because he believes he can be anything he wants to be. As he grows older he becomes frustrated, not able to understand never having a girlfriend or even being kissed. Looks in the mirror everyday and sees he is good looking though others, even closest friends, make jokes and say he isn't what girls want. He wants change so little by little he tries. Saddly he cant seem to break from his normal routine for old habits die hard. Still holding onto his dreams hoping for his life to start with the girl hes never had, his family grows old and is left alone living with others who seem to understand his struggles and for once feels accepted. The place he now lives is Apple Ridge Home for the Autistic and Mentally Impaired. He still looks in the mirror and sees a handsome 16 year old boy.
For those who dont understand. The boy was Autistic or mentally impaired all his life but didn't know it. He felt there was something he didn't understand about him but had no way of comprehending it. By revealing in the end where he ended up was to explain all his frustrations doubts and difficulties with breaking routines. Think about Rain Mans character but in Shutter Island.
