The Red Robed Runaway

Ardan is a 24 year old man living on the autism spectrum in the early 2000's. When his faithful support worker Sharleen moves to California and leaves him with another, boring support worker, Ardan uses his special interest - Toonami and the 2002 He Man series - to get him through this difficult time. One day, an unusual storm happens outside his house that sends an unidentified ball of fire crashing towards Earth outside his house, and Ardan decides to go and look. There, he finds his favourite character, Orko, all battered and bruised and unconcious. He takes him back to his house and nurses him back to health. Once Orko realises he is being cared for by someone outside of Eternia, he becomes friends with the now gentle autistic man, who takes him under his wing. As the two play together every day, Orko's cuddly warmth and comfort helps Arden come to terms with his boring support worker and get used to being thankful for the life he has.
