Emery, 15

Emery is a sensitive, compassionate young man who enjoys social interactions. He struggles picking up on social cues and timing, such as telling jokes excessively or at inappropriate times. Emery’s undeveloped social skills cause peers to avoid or even bully him. In desperation for fitting in, he began bullying some of his peers. His social isolation and cognitive difficulties are causing frustration and avoidance of school and homework.
