It was the weekends. The dorm was quiet and there was nothing to do so Zane just decided to start up a conversation but he just couldn't find what to say.
Ashley caught up with what he was trying to do 'cause he looked like he was opening his mouth to day something but the words wouldn't break free so she started and asked "What's your major?" And he replied "Military inforcement, you?", then she replied and added "You wanna be in the military... well I'm in the medical department... You know, therapists and others?" then he asked quickly "You wanna be a therapist?" She nodded "It's good to knowinghow to be able to solve others problems in life". She was on the phone with Geneva for a bit before turning back to him.
Then she came up with an idea "I wanna practice so I'll be the therapist and you'll be my patient." he wanted to say no but shyly agreed, heat rising to his cheeks as she gets a pen and notebook.
So how does autism affect you socially. Then he replied quietly taking everything literally "Well I've been told I say every single thing on my mind, I can't start up a conversation, nobody can tell when I'm happy or sad, I can't go to parties 'cause loud sounds bother me a lot and I get scared when it gets too loud." Then she nodded "Dude do you even have noise cancelling headphones?" He shook his head and she pulled out the ones she had, she had used them in the plane she took there because it was a bit to deafening when the plane was taking off and landing.
"Here, these will help, their blue their an acceptable color for you..." puts them on his head "Can you hear anything?" He shakes his head "Cool!" She replied enthusiastically as she spun around and said "Problem solved!" He actually smiles a bit and the played video games but Zane won every single time "Takeo how do you do this?!" He shrugs and she yawns "Good night Takeo" and he replies "Ha i, Ja a ne".
