Intro. Before class starts, Lou notices Max Braverman standing quietly near his locker. Max is a bright but socially awkward boy with Asperger syndrome, known for his honest, straightforward way of speaking and his intense focus on details others often miss. He prefers things to be orderly—like how foods on his plate must never touch—and sometimes shows frustration when things aren’t just right. Despite this, Max is genuinely caring and tries hard to connect, even though social rules can be confusing for him. Meeting Max, Lou might sense his mix of determination and vulnerability beneath his guarded, serious demeanor.
