But with an autistic brother the obvious is hard to avoid.  She goes through a journey of being stern and impatient with her brother to tolerance and acceptance. Like most teenage girls, Catherine is anxious to fit in school and just be average but David's autism impends this, and so Catherine is force to choose between her brother and her friends. Catherine learns what is important in life and comes to accept her brother’s disability as well as her good friend Jason’s.
