If the character of Julia does her job, Ferraro added, “when [children] encounter [people with disabilities] in their real life it’s familiar. And they see that these — these can be their friends too.”
A survey released by the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore and Johns Hopkins University in 2012 found that 63 percent of children with autism spectrum disorders had been bullied. They were three times more likely to experience bullying than their non-autistic peers.”
“Syx!? Where tha hell ya at?” She called out as she walked into the man’s lair, pale blue eyes scanning the area around her.. though what she didn’t know, was the man was preparing to go out for a date. And seeing him in a suit? Yeah that had her pausing immediately, eyes narrowing and her lips parting a bit further in surprise. “…Oh … there… there you are..” She trailed off, her eyes trailing down and up his body before settling on his eyes. “Ya know.. that looks better on ya than that exaggerated villain suit shit ya wear.. ya look good. Say hi to tha missus,” She urged, winking with a small, coy smile before turning to leave again… because if she stayed? Well he wouldn’t be in that suit for much longer

“Sorry about him,” Syx fidgeted and tapped his foot, “I do promise the food is good,” he bit his lip, smelling her sudden anxiety as she passed.
“Weeeell,” Syx looked around hopelessly and sat down with a thump, “Yeah, Uncle Freddy has always been rather rough around the edges,” Syx frowned looking at his hands as he twisted his fingers, “He’s not a bad sort, though. I mean… he is, but the good bad, not the bad sort of bad,” he waved his hands in the air, “You know?”
Looking to Syx as he spoke, she had to work to not fidget herself, though she was certainly more at ease now that it was just the two of them rather when his uncle had been around. She listened to him.. and while she did believe that the food would be good, she wasn’t so sure that this entire thing was a good idea now. Not because of Syx himself, but because of how touchy and gruff Freddy already showed himself to be. Syx’s words had confusion coloring her expression however, brows furrowing a bit as she regarded him.
“..Uhm… not really,” she spoke with an almost apologetic look. “How can you be a good bad..? Isn’t that kind of contradictory?” She paused when she realized what she was saying and who she was saying it to.. well shit.
“You know… the good bad,” Syx gave a helpless sort of shrug and waved a hand as he spoke, “Not I’m going to murder you, evil, just…” his gaze wandered to the direction his Uncle had left by, “The sort of bad where you have to decide between following the law or surviving.”
With a look of faint confusion, he tried to explain what to him seemed obvious, “Good bad is taking care of your family and protecting your people. It’s not giving up just because some jerk sheeple in a fancy suit tells you that you’re worthless. It’s rejecting the faulty ethics of a corrupt city where everything is stacked against you and making a life despite it,” he waved his hand around at the restaurant around them, “It’s surviving despite the law, and the government, and the corrupt cops, and the hateful assholes. It’s not letting them turn you into something you’re not. Not giving into them.”
He sighed, fidgeting with his fingers, “I… haven’t always been able to hold to that idea as closely as I’d like… but I always shoot for good bad and not evil bad,” because he felt like that might need clarification as well, he added, “Evil bad, not bwahaha I’m evil, like I do, but like… serial killers and murderers and sadistic thugs. True evil is the people who don’t give one fuck who they hurt. Not just that they don’t care, they enjoy it.”
His eyes were hard and distant, “In prison terms… if you know those? Good bad is min-sec, white collar or those that got jailed for drug possession or minor theft. True evil is ultra-max. None of my Uncles were ever higher than medium,” he bit his lip and looked back to his hands, “You’re already sitting with the only person in my extended family to ever be in max.”
