Thank you for this feedback, Diane. I’m so sorry that this is something you or anyone has to deal with. It must be very hard to try and explain these things to kids in a way that they can understand what’s really happening and not either internalize the situation or read more into it.

My oldest child has a profound physical disability and has led to surgeries, etc. The other 4 kids have a LOT of those tendencies you’ve listed, many of which are wonderful (caring, compassionate, caregiver). I would also list (which you have alluded to, of course) is anxiety/panic issues. You’ve definitely included symptoms. like, will this happen to me, hypochondriac, etc. At any given time, at least 2 of the 4 are on anxiety meds.

O.o lol. it is what it is, right? But again, Becca, I wanted to let you know that this couldn’t have been more perfect.

I’ve got your Emotional Traits thesauri and think very highly of them.

Planning a new book with a child who is mute, and this opened my eyes to all kinds of possibilities. Thank you for this entry, and for always being so willing to share your research. You two are wonderful!

And other developmental delays. Even so called high functioning autism can mean hours every week spent at therapies, in the car driving to therapy, at home doing therapy homework, and constant planning around the autisitic siblings needs. The sibling gets to sit in the waiting room for hours upon hours while the child goes to rooms that look like every kid’s dream. Especially applicable to occupational therapy.
