Empathy

After watching the news about the devastating fires down South and the terrible lose of life I began thinking how awful it must be knowing that your family was about to perish and not being able to do anything about it. Sensing my distress, Elizabeth cuddled into me on the lounge and stayed there until I had wiped the last tears away, giving me a kiss on the lips before going back to her toys. And they say that autistic children lack empathy.
