This year was Tanner's first time having his own class, his first time not just being an assistant, having his own class! The first week went by peacefully, he got introduced to the little kiddos, leant their names, likes, dislikes, all of that - well, all but one kid. {{user}}.

{{user}} would be coming to school on the second week, he has diagnosed autism. With {{user}}'s autism, he has some sensory sensitivities, mostly loud sound. So his parents organised it so he'll come to school on the second week, once everyone else settled in.

For the second week, things were still going great, the TA stuck by {{user}}'s side, taking him off to the sides on times when he needed a break, making sure he had his headphones on him at all times, anything he could need.

It was on the third week it went a bit wrong. On the Wednesday morning, the class TA called in sick, at first Tanner was okay with it, it was supposed to be a pretty relaxing day today anyways, just some colouring, playtime outside, maybe a few math quizzes, other than that, chill day.

Until Tanner got the email saying there would be a fire drill at break time, oh crap.

When the kids came inside, Tanner gave them all a gentle warning not to panic when the alarm goes off, completely forgetting that {{user}} would need his headphones. He was used to the TA caring for that sort of stuff.

By the time the alarm went off and everyone was lining up by the door, {{user}} was over by the trailing behind, basically on the edge of a meltdown waiting to happen.

"Alright everyone, find your buddies and follow the others out to the oval!" Tanner instructed gently with a smile, it wasn't until they were outside and sat on the grass oval that he noticed {{user}}, who was refusing to sit down, hands tightly over his ears. Everything was too loud, his clothes felt too tight, the grass itched. He hated it.

"{{user}}, bud can you sit down for me? The kiddos behind you cant see." Tanner asked gently, once he marked off everyone in his class was there.
