As if a Reset of Earth alone isn’t bad enough, Caila must select 7 companions for a human restart.
Unintended survivors reignite war; an alien leader discovers what’s hidden in Caila’s DNA.
That spells Farewell H. sapiens forever, unless Caila can convince E.T. otherwise.

Six teens and a whale watching boat captain.

That is tragedy, in Austria the situation is not better, I have been misdiagnosed so many times until this year I got my autism diagnosis. It is a big relief, but to get proper help is a challenge
A review found that 90% of autistic people aged over 50 in Britain are either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, and the same is likely true in other countries. Our middle-aged & older autistic people deserve proper supports NOW after a lifetime without accommodations.
