He’d spent so many years battling this, feeling like an alien, misunderstood by every doctor, every friend. Now, there was another. Someone to share experiences with, someone who understood the frustration and the fear.

He clapped his hands together, a sharp crack echoing in the hallway. "Yes!" he whispered to himself, then practically ran towards Dr. Lee's office, ready to plan the meeting.
