| | *She didn’t seem to notice the dog, as she continued wandering. She acted deaf, she wasn’t deaf, she just was clueless to her surroundings, she always has been. She Finally did stop looking around her with her eerie blue eyes though she seemed to see nothing really. She would never survive on her own, but no one could ever deal with her and the way her ‘disease’ made her. she was diagnosed with a form of autism as a baby, her eyes slowly turn to the dog her eyes never really focusing on it. She remained quiet though she did see it. She rarely spoke it was hard for her*
Name: Edana
Nickname: Eda
Age: 7
Height: 3' 8"
Weight: 37
Gender: Female
Species: Human.
Appearance: brown hair that fall down a little past her shoulders, empty eerie blue eyes that make it look like she is staring through you instead of at you. She is dirty, and raggedy looking, and quite eerie. She is fair skinned, which shows off the dirt easily. Hints of scars mark her body.
Extra: She usually doesn’t talk at all, when she does you usually can’t hear her. her voice is the kind of voice everyone has to stop and ask her to repeat but she never does. She doesn’t knowledge most of anything, and when she does acknowledge you it usually with an eerie glance, or a voiced answer. Her voice is husky and low as if she wasn’t used to using it, and has to strain to use it. she usually talks slowly, as if she wasn’t sure of the words, she also speaks in short unfinished sentences She’s good at hiding, and can make a hiding place out of anything.
Personality: Quiet, very quiet she could sit for hours doing nothing; she often acts like she is deaf and can’t hear you. She prefers her own company to anyone else and she is slightly bitter to most people. She knows she was rejected from the world, and hides out any where she can, she is prone to disappearing for days at end. She nothing like a normal seven year old, she seems to have hidden herself, emotionally as she often does physically.
Past: She was traumatized at a young age when she watched her father kill her mother, when she was only 2, then her father raised her abusing her for 3 years before he abandoned her. Though her father abused her, she depended on him, she has no skills in raising herself once so ever. She drove him crazy with her odd behavior, so he left her. She survived by a someone else taking her in who didn’t know how to raise kids, they mistreated her and mainly ignored her but soon they had enough with the child and left her. She need a home, she has no chance of surviving by herself.
My shell is thick
My silence thicker.
Fire burns me from within
but I do not complain.
Avoided as a plague
I gave up on people long ago.
Longing to fit in but
never daring to try
My shell is thick
My silence thicker

Innocents lost, a shattered youth
Builds up walls, to hide from the pain
No more I love yous,
No longer daddy’s little girl
No more laughing there’s only tears
No more hope only fear
A shattered life, at the hands of fate

Autism is a serious development disorder in children. It appears within the first 30 months of life in 15 out of every 10,00 people - 4 times more frequently in boys than girls. Their sensory input to the brain are incorrectly perceived or badly interpreted, resulting in a confused understanding of life and their environment, strange behaviour, withdrawal, perceptive and cognitive disorders, and retardation.
All symptoms are not present in every autistic child, nor does every symptom have the save severity. Diagnosis is made by observing the child's behaviour closely. Since autism is often associated with other brain or neurological disorders, it may be very difficult to diagnose
