Leo is a high school student who loves astrology and his mother. Leo sees the world differently than others and he recognizes that his autism is what others say makes him different but what his mom says makes him real. In this story he shares his live as he sees it and as he is presently living it. Sharing stories of bullying and what the day to day feels like in his shoes. He is aware of the things that he does that may make people do a double take, the things that feel normal to him but for others is a little head scratching, but the. joy of Leo is that he doesn't apologize for any of it because he gives and receives love and that is important to him. It is when he shares high goal before graduation that his heart opens and we see another side of him, one that has a crush, one that makes us pull for him hoping that before graduation our hero wins and he gets the girl, or in his case gets his first day to the movies with Hope. As in most life experiences there is always something or in Leo's case someone that holds him back.
But we get to see a glimpse of Leo's growth when he confronts the one things standing in his way and with pride and his head held high he walks away feeling fulfilled. Coming of age is easier for some than it is for others, and for Leo it is a day-to-day list of lessons learned. Let's walk a mile in his shoes as he reminds us how easy it is to be a good person every day.
