The summary is in the description. I'm trying to grasp mostly my form of Autism but I just want to make sure everything is okay and nothing seems to cliche about her autism. >_<

Uhhhhh no idea. XD I just really adored the name. XDDDD I've been trying to really grasp the most common points of autism without making it too obvious or too cliche. x_x I don't really have an idea of how I did.

Well its a really cute story so far, I read ch1 and was halfway on 2 but had to do some stuff. I'll probably finish now. I actually love to write too, I think its really great that you have a creative outlet. Just keep writing as it comes to you.

And yeah I think Anya -is- russian, I'm kind of a russie-phile so it stuck out to me, not a bad thing at all. Don't go change her name or anything, I'm sure girls in the US have the name, just mean it originates from Russia.

I actually got the name from Degrassi. A lot of the characters in that show have really pretty names like Alliah or Riley... I really do like those names. XD I try to find names that you don't really hear often to avoid a lot of the cliche of say naming your character Mary Sue and your make John Smith, you know? Writing is pretty much how I can express myself and it's helped me improve a lot on my therapy and psychiatry as well.
