Irecently reread a childhood favorite, The Girl with the Silver Eyes. To give you a bit of an idea of the story, Katie is a young girl with actual silver eyes and the power of telekinesis. After her parents divorced when she was three, she went to live with her paternal grandmother for six years.
When her grandmother passes away, she goes back to living with her mother in an apartment complex. There she begins to wonder if there are other children like her, with similar eyes and abilities and sets out to find them.
As humans we tend to read things through the lenses of our own world; so it stands to reason that with a son who is on the Spectrum that is where my brain would go. However, there are multiple parallels that line up almost perfectly. This is not just limited to Katie herself but extends to the people surround her and how they treat her.
He mentioned the odd eye color to Monica once when he thought Katie was out of earshot. He theorized the reason for Katie was different. This is what prompts her to reach out to the other children. He was there for Monica when Katie went missing.

The Freddy Files Description: "Ten years prior to the events of the novel, five children from Hurricane went missing, including Charlie's childhood friend Michael. Their disappearance is tied to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, but their bodies have never been found, nor their kidnapper has been caught."
Aunt Jen is what Charlie refers to her as an aunt. While Aunt Jen is never present in the book, she is mentioned in several flashbacks and is described often by Charlie. She seems to be a strong woman, able to take action when necessary. She puts emphasis on things Charlie should do to be well-prepared for any occasion as well as expects her to be mostly independent.

It is later revealed that Henry committed suicide sometime after Michael's disappearance, though in a rather unusual means as he had one of his robots kill him.
The Freddy Files Description: "Charlie's father, the founder of Fredbear's Family Diner, was an engineer with a childlike sense of imagination. He personally built all the animatronics at the restaurant. Charlie remembers him as a good man, but-unbeknownst to her-he took many dark secrets to his grave."
The late Michael Brooks was a friend of Charlie, John, and the others until his disappearance from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in July of 1985. It is a memorial service for him which brings all his friends back to Hurricane, Utah 10 years later.It is later revealed that Michael's spirit, along with the other victims, inhabit the animatronics in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Specifically, Michael's soul resides in the yellow Freddy suit that was used at Fredbear's Family Diner.

The Freddy Files Description: "Clay Burke is the police chief in Hurricane, Utah, as well as the father of Charlie's childhood friend, Carlton. Clay is one of the few main characters who knows the deepest details of the case of missing children.

Occupation: Security Guard
Dave Miller is the security guard that patrols the mall that entombs the decommissioned Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. He is described as being rather skinny with loose skin and dead eyes. Upon actually meeting the main characters, he reveals that he's known the location of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza for a long time.
Real Name: William Afton
Dave Miller's true identity is later revealed to be William Afton, former partner of Henry and co-owner of Fredbear's Family Diner and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Henry relied on William for the business side of the diner. However, unknown to Henry, William was a dangerous man, having kidnapped and murdered his son Sammy, his daughter's friend Michael, and at least three other children who had visited either establishment they owned. He would do this under the guise of the Spring Bonnie hybrid suit used at Fredbear's.
It is implied that the spring locks of the suit have failed on him before, as he is described as having several symmetrical scars all over his torso and neck. This is further supported by how accurately and intimately he can describe the experience of spring lock failure while inside a suit.

The next day, Charlie and her friends attend the scholarship's launch ceremony at their old school, where Michael's parents give a speech about him. Afterwards, John confesses to Charlie that he remembers seeing a strange person in a yellow Freddy costume at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza on the day of Michael's death, and he now suspects this person was Michael's killer.
That night, Charlie, Jessica, John, and Carlton return to the restaurant, accompanied by their friends Lamar, Marla, and her 11-year-old brother Jason. They discover the still-functioning control panel which makes the robots move, and Charlie finds a fourth robot - Foxy the Pirate Fox - which cuts her arm with its hook. The next morning, haunted by recent events, Charlie tells John that before moving to Hurricane her father owned another restaurant called Fredbear's Family Diner, which featured two performing robots, yellow versions of Freddy Fazbear and Bonnie the Bunny.
John drives Charlie to the abandoned diner in New Harmony, Utah, and she remembers the day her brother Sammy was abducted by someone in a Bonnie costume, which led to the diner going out of business and Charlie's parents divorcing. She suspects that Sammy's abduction and Michael's murder are connected. That evening, the friends go to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza again, but are caught by the mall's security guard Dave, who threatens to call the police.
