Chris deals with everyday challenges because he has autism. He finds it hard to interact with people and adjust to new places. To manage these difficulties, he uses different strategies; sometimes, he walks around in rooms for a long time to help calm himself down. His support team is helping him get the right placement and support he needs. Recently, Chris moved to a specialized group home and is adjusting to living in a new town with surroundings he's not used to.

Chris has a deep affection for hot chocolate, and there's nothing quite like a warm cup to brighten his day. However, with limited funds, indulging in this favorite treat at Starbucks isn't always feasible. Still, the thought of enjoying a few rich hot chocolates topped with whipped cream fills Chris with delight, making him dream of a time when he can savor that experience more often.
