Once, not very far away, there was a land of modest fame where a young boy name Prince resided with his Queen Mom and his King Dad. Prince was a special boy who lived in a spectrum call Autism. The people didn’t know what this meant, nor could they understand his frequent seizures so they just said the Prince was sick and left him alone.

Word about Bob the magic tortoise spread far and wide. A boy who lived outside the realm wanted to know what kind of magic a tortoise could have. One day he stole Bob from Prince’s garden.
