I honestly don't eve...Agreed about the empathy. I honestly don't even see where that comes from- every autist I know seems pretty empathetic, to me. Maybe that's anecdotal at best, but a few true anecdotes is enough to disprove this myth.<br /><br />What are some suggestions to help an autistic child who is hypersensitive to the moods of others? My son is like this, and I worry, because it seems to get him all emotionally dysregulated, and I do not know how to help. He's only 4, and he's a smart kid, but he comes from a long line of pretty smart people who cannot regulate their emotions very well, so I'd like to help. I also have to admit that I'm one of his biggest problems- I am an emotional person and I cannot easily hold back my feelings, and on top of that, he sees through any attempt to cover them up. For example, if I'm impatient, and I try my HARDEST to cover the impatience in my voice, and I KNOW I'm being impatient, and I'm not upset at my son at all, he gets incredibly stressed and afraid that I'm mad at him and he'll beg me to "stop yelling at him." I agree that the last thing this kid needs is more empathy! Any quick insight on how to help him start building up an emotional self defense?Secret Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943092904078123645noreply@blogger.com
