Like a lot of autistic children, Tom has an elfin quality that's oddly familiar to people who've spent any amount of time with wildlife. Normally I'm dead-set against kids wearing anything un-childish or overly modish. But I made Tom something different, because he is. And he did look smashing in black as I suspected. Note to self: Join ribs better at the side seams.
