[quote=Anonymous]I get you OP. This is the mom who could die and wouldn't be missed. LOL! Maybe empathy is just part of the picture here. I told a therapist recently that it seems that my ASD kid is just never on the same page with me or anyone around him (or rarely). He is just not wired to want connection the same way. It is truly exhausting. Their focus is so inward(?) or preoccupied with sensory things(?) or they can't do the big-picture thinking even up to their age level... Im not sure, but it's a whole level different than what parents of NT kids go through. Just know that people who have this going on in their family get what you are saying. I think it's more of a connection issue maybe than empathy, though empathy is involved. Hugs to you. [/quote]
