School can feel overwhelming and confusing, and some days it's hard to believe that the things that make him different could also make him special. But with the help of his Mama, Zane begins to see all of his stripes, his curiosity stripe, his honesty stripe, his caring stripe, and yes, his autism stripe, as the unique strengths that make him exactly who he's meant to be.
