I also found the story too pat. The list of 22 events seemed like an odd thing for a kid to be compiling on their own initiative. I observe that kids of that age try to normalize their circumstances, not compile lists of why they are off.
My niece will write songs or letters and has even written lists of things she doesn't like that her parents do... She usually shares it with grandma before going to her dad about it.

So much for generalizations about homo sapiens.
