My Older Brother Has Autism, and Our Journey to Friendship Hasn’t Always Been Easy

I remember one time when my brother, Keith, was 3 he howled; there's no other way to describe the noise he made.

“Japanese American Gothic”

In this story, you get to be the sansei heroine because you are like a lump of narrative Play-Doh, and the less self-awareness you possess, the more you can be poked, prodded, and punched into possibility.
