    Gus is eleven years old. He’s autistic and has some physical challenges: his right arm and leg are crooked, his back is slightly hunched, and he’s blind in one eye. That eye is also smaller and a different color than the other one. Gus lives with his “papa”, who abuses him and has him convinced that he’s ugly. He’s a good kid, but has next to no self esteem
