Oliver's New Friends
Oliver stood at the edge of the playground, clutching his blue toy airplane. Today, he wanted to make a friend, but he wasn't sure how to start. The sounds and movements around him felt overwhelming.
He noticed a girl building a sandcastle and decided to watch from a distance. Oliver liked the order and structure of the sandcastle. It made sense to him.
Taking a deep breath, Oliver walked closer and said, 'I like your castle. Can I help?' The girl smiled and nodded. Oliver felt a happy flutter in his chest.
