Spoilers ahead

Renee, a non-verbal autistic girl, sits calmly in a canoe and fiddles with a sound app on her phone, letting gentle tones ripple across the water. Marcus arrives late and, as the camp’s counselor pairs him with Renee, a hint of friction appears in his expression. He tries to show off his paddling skills, but Renee isn’t impressed; she tilts the canoe slightly, and the boat begins to rock under his touch. Marcus asks what she wants, and she directs him to paddle toward the shore so she can reach and touch the nearby reeds.
