Résumé : |
It is often written that autistic people respond differently to events and that other people have difficulty in reading their emotions and gauging their emotional state. There is a risk then that if an autistic child or adult does not express their emotions in a conventional or typical way and appears to be unaffected by an event, that parents and carers offer less support. In the case of the illness or death of a friend or relative, this can mean that the autistic person is not fully informed or invited to the hospital or funeral, for example. In addition, formal counselling or the opportunity to talk about the event may not be offered. This personal account by Emma is very powerful and may be helpful for others living or working with autistic children and adults experiencing difficult life events. |
