Prologue

Clara is Two-Bit's 8 year old sister. She has autism which is a neurological disorder that affects communication, social interactions, and had rigid or repetitive behaviors. Two-Bit steps up to care for his sister while his mom goes back to work after their dad left. Clara attends a school that provides the type of therapy she needs. How does the gang react to meeting Clara?

Clara is based off of two little boys with autism that I care for. Autism is a very wide spectrum; if you meet one child with autism, you've met one child with autism.
