(3) 4-6 Eddy, though not labeled Asperger's in the story, hates looking people in the eye but loves tinkering with his inventions. His difficulty deciphering social cues (e.g., sarcasm) makes him a target for the school bully, but others step up to befriend him. Sprinkled with science facts and Latin--"It smelled like tuna (Thunnus alalunga)"--the narrative will have readers cheering for the misfit kid.
