Empathy (or lack of) – Sun 11th Jan 2015

I have found today very hard, from an autism parenting point of view.

Tomorrow brings a two hour appointment that I’m dreading, a poke and a prod, a scan, an investigation. Hopefully there will be an all clear at the end.

I’ve kept my feelings hidden – mostly of nausea – from T and D – until this evening, when it was necessary to change T’s routine. He doesn’t know the details, just that his routine needed to amend because I need to (try and) get some sleep tonight because of the appointment.

Things were thrown, things were said, stomps were made and not one iota of concern or understanding was shown.

The lack of empathy is something that Hubbie and I really struggle with at times.

Tomorrow is another day, hopefully it will be a good one for all Jx
