  Cali
  
  20 years old
  Loves Anime, is an aspiring writer and currently does voice-over work on fan-fictiony stuff that I don't have a clue about. She was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at age 16. She graduated from high school with her class and is now enrolled in college and working full-time. She moved out last year and is leading a very happy, successful, independent and quite "normal" life.

  Jason
  
  18 years old
  Friends fanatic, fancies himself the next Chandler Bing. Now that he has his license, the next step is his own car. He loves energy drinks, World of Warcraft and torturing Tad. He is now a college man.

  Tad
  
  15 years old
  Xbox addict, total Metrosexual and believer in the powers of Ax products. He's a shy, surprisingly funny, and exceptionally popular kid. He's joined the high school football team so he can get more girls.

  Sean
  
  9 years old
  Obsessed with the Titanic, cars, airplanes and basically anything that has an engine. His teachers told me he should go into engineering. He has a very mechanical mind and can fix just about anything. He was diagnosed with PDDnos on the autism spectrum just before his 5th birthday. He is the sweetest little boy you will ever meet.

  Skye McKenna
  
  7 years old
  The Princess, loves all things pink and glittery. She loves making faces, having her picture taken, and drawing pictures of her family and friends. She was diagnosed with PDDnos on the autism spectrum when she was 2 and was enrolled immediately in an early intervention program. She is completely mainstreamed and classified as "recovered".
