Cause I still feel all the things I did before.

"Are you going to be nice today, James?" Grayson asked, tilting his head and watching his sixteen-year-old brother stare at the radio humming softly next to him. James was in his 'intense focus' stage, something common in people with Severe Autism, and seemed to be trying to memorize the beat coming from it. Grayson gently pulled his usual chair next to James's bed and held up a book for him to see. "I'm going to read to you again," he said slowly, opening the book to the where they had last left off. He cautiously switched off the radio and began to read to him softly, and James began to smile and laugh, seeming to enjoy what Grayson was saying. Or maybe it was just the company he enjoyed; Grayson wasn't sure. He was interrupted shortly into his reading by a loud crash from the hallway, which he later found out had been a nurse dropping a tray. James jumped and began screaming, clearly distraught. Grayson flinched as James began to punch himself and the things around him violently, another common occurrence with severely Autistic people called Self-Injurious Behavior, or SIB for short. He grabbed for James's clenched fists and attempted to restrain his brother, taking a few blows himself. James continued to scream as Grayson held him to the bed, pinning his flailing arms down. "Breathe, James," Grayson said, feeling tired already, "Breathe through your nose." It was routine. It happened every visit; something always set James off.

Remember all the ways you fixed me?

Manipulative: Grayson likes to influence others decisions and situations for his own benefit. He does not usually take into consideration the well being and wishes of those that he is attempting to manipulate. Although he will use information to his advantage, he refuses to lie to anyone.
Aggressive: Hot-headed is a better way to describe Grayson. He will not stand bullshit and lies, and he is not afraid to throw the first punch if he has to. Although, he usually prefers to just watch fights.
Intelligent: Grayson has always had an easy time understanding things, whether it be school work or the motivation behind his peers' actions. He generally does pretty well in school, although he doesn't always show up for class.
Ambitious: Although I've already mentioned that Grayson doesn't always show up for class, he strives to do things to the best of his ability. He always wants to do well. He just doesn't think that he always needs to be present to do so.
Rude: Due to his blunt nature, Grayson is often considered, and often considers himself, a rude person. He does not beat around the bush and will tell you exactly what he is thinking, no matter how impolite it is.

How will you fix me now?
