I'm commenting specifically on this:

The boy looked hesitantly at the huge chair, then again at Brian’s rigid face and finally plodded with small steps in the ordered direction.

A little clumsy, he climbed on the unfamiliar sitting accommodation and peered one more time at the prince before timidly gripping the shiny fork. Shyly he began to eat.


Specifically, the large number of linguistic markers in these two paragraphs infantilizing a boy who is already mentally and emotionally digressed to about age 4 by autism.

Feel free to add your $.02 and I will include that too!
