Perfect example of how being verbal as opposed to being non-verbal, does NOT mean you can communicate, effectively. Nobody panic. All is well. I can hear him chomping at the bit about a missing DVD remote as I type. Yesterday, Taylor said My throat is sore several times. So. Its November. The heating is on. Being the sympathetic sort that I am - I told him to drink water. So he did. He did not indicate, at any time, that what he was feeling was anything more than a sore throat. He didnt touch or try to sooth the area himself. At all. So that was all I had to go on. His verbal explanation. Until a couple of hours ago. Mum. Make my throat better. No medicine. Come here Matey. Let me have a look. So. He lifted his top up, grabbed my hand and placed it on the right hand side of his tummy. Are you doing the maths ? Your throat isnt there either, is it ? That high pain threshold in Autistic people, we hear and read so much about, can be a bit of a worry too, cant it ? Sore throat, indeed. And folk wonder why were over-protective and a bit scatty :)
