Maya and Chloe are sisters. Maya has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) whereas Chloe does not. One afternoon they are playing in the living room with their mother, who places her favorite toy dinosaur on the bookshelf before leaving the room to answer the door. While their mother is gone, Chloe takes the dinosaur and hides it inside a toy chest. Chloe smiles and asks Maya, "Where do you think Mum will look for her dinosaur when she returns?"
