Well, damn. Naturally the best thing I've read today is part 1 of 4! I like Jason a lot. I'm sure he's not all sweetness and light, but I like that he doesn't attack Sam for having hope.
Ohmygod so interesting and upsetting and chest-hurty and I love the OPOV. Poor autistic(?) Jason and poor Sam and are they "special" kids? And why won't you LEAVE SAMMY'S HAIR ALONE! *breathes*
Lol, I swear I don't know why I can't leave Sammy's hair alone! I just CAN'T! It's just such a violating thing, I felt this story needed it, I guess... I don't know, maybe I'm just nuts. *shrug*
Yes, I am trying to write Jason as autistic which is probably the most challenging thing I've done with my writing and I've been stressing out about it. I've done some research but I don't have much experience with autism and I'd hate to offend anyone. *fingers crossed everything will go fine*
No, you're right it is violating and very effective, which is probably why I keep shouting at you about it :) Also, I think you're doing a great job with Jason's voice.

I'm really glad you like Jason - he's been a struggle to write but interesting too.
