    Rex, the autistic crocodile, lived in a vibrant swamp. Unlike the other crocodiles, he enjoyed solitude and had his own unique way of interacting with his surroundings.

    The other crocodiles didn't understand Rex's behavior. They often made fun of him, driving Rex further into solitude. But, Rex was content being himself.

    A severe drought hit the swamp, making survival tough. The crocodiles were struggling to find food and water. Rex, however, seemed unaffected by the harsh conditions.

    Rex had a unique ability to sense water beneath the ground. He would dig up small pools, providing himself with enough water to survive the drought.

    As the drought worsened, the other crocodiles grew desperate. They noticed Rex's small pools and realized that Rex's unusual behavior was actually a unique ability.

    Rex decided to help the other crocodiles. He taught them how to sense water beneath the ground and they all worked together to dig up larger pools.

    The swamp slowly started to recover, thanks to Rex and the other crocodiles working together. The other crocodiles started to appreciate Rex's unique abilities.

    Rex was no longer made fun of. He was now respected and appreciated for his unique abilities. He was happy to have finally found his place among the others.
