Empathy (ish) – Mon 8th Feb 2016

Poor T still isn’t well.  I’ll say this about our boy that – just like everything else he approaches – he goes for it big time.  

Same as how he plays football, or Minecraft or a project, T doesn’t have a little niggly bug, it’s a full blown de-stabilising knock-you-sideways affair.  And that’s how it’s been today.  When T’s ill, he gets skinny very quickly as he just doesn’t want to eat, so doesn’t, his varying sensory issues around food mean choosing substitutes are extremely limited.

We’d said to D to be aware that T wasn’t well, that he needed to sleep and could she be quiet. Well, her interpretation of this was to stomp away angrily and force her door closed, because she knew she had to be quieter.  Kind of empathy, albeit in a noisy kind of way.

Get well soon T.
