You're Never Fully Dressed (Without A Smile)
Kurt had dreamed of being on Broadway, of opening a wildly successful fashion line and being happily married to a suave, charming and dutiful man with kids of their own. Now that he's met Blaine Anderson, a music therapist at the Lima Autism Center, he thinks one-third of his dreams is about to come true. That is, until Blaine brings home an orphaned autistic child one day. AU.
Author's Notes: Note #1: This story is aspin-offof the minor Kurt/Blaine storyline in the (http://elektra30.livejournal.com/12266.html" title="Singin' In The Rain) Singin' In The Rainverse that I created with an Artie/Tina fic for gleebigbang. You do not have to read the earlier story to understand this fic, but it might give a little insight to the other characters as well as the condition of autism. Note #2: This fic involves a fictitious autism center which does not represent the work of many centers worldwide in any way, but seeks more to give an insight into autism and its management. I volunteered at an autism school for half a year and have imbued many of my personal observations into this fic. Many of the cases here are modeled after real-life examples. However, I do not claim to be an expert in the area and welcome constructive feedback on anything that might be inaccurate. It's also unbeta-ed, so I apologize in advance for any errors. Disclaimer: The GLEE characters (and sly canon parallels) are the property of FOX, RIB and GLEE. Lyrics interspersed with text are written by Martin Charnin, from the musical Annie inspired by the Harold Gray comic strip and book by Thomas Meehan. Also, as autism is a very wide spectrum, the behaviors mentioned may not be representative of the condition as a whole.
