Autism and pain threshold
One of the things that drive me crazy with Gavin his how he handles pain. Gavin will beat himself (literally) and not complain but then pitch a fit over the tiniest injury. For example yesterday he came down stairs freaking out because "I bumped my thumb on my action figures head". He wasn't hurt but was freaking out. If he thinks he hurt himself, say his finger for example, he will squeeze his fingure until it's bruised in an attempt to make it bleed. Then when it eventually bleeds or just bruises he meltsdown. I just don't get it. Today alone I have lost track of all the "injuries" he came to show me. The biggest problem aside from annoyance it the example being set. Now Elliott is doing similar…
