Unlike her twin sister, Carly, 12-year-old Nicole Branconnier doesn't have close friends. She doesn't share her sister's pre-teen obsession with High School Musical or instant messaging.

She goes to a special school; she speaks in choppy, incomplete sentences, unable to explain anything complicated; and when she walks past people in her home in Danvers, Massachusetts, she shows little interest and doesn't make eye contact.
