And Harvey is legally blind. She ought to have more awareness.She's probably got nerve damage and lack of sensation everywhere she's had surgery (and that includes her bits).
My boy is autistic and of a similar age to Harvey. He doesn't really like physical contact but when I eg: want to congratulate him and give him a big hug, it's done quickly and loosely, sideways across the shoulders with a peck on the forehead. It would be just so wrong to cuddle him full-on as, like Harvey, it may stir up an inappropriate reaction.I feel very uncomfortable watching how she kisses him on the lips. His mental age is v young but he is an adult. I would never ever kiss my son the lips neither would he want me to and peck on the cheek or forehead is about all he would allow and maybe a hug. Poor H really does not know or understand that her behaviour with him is not normal. It singles him out for ridicule and that is so very unfair to the young lad.
My guess is that basically he wants to be treated as an adult.I agree about Harvey being an adult even if his mental age is seven. He is very childlike. It is not the same as being a seven year old. I guess Katie treats him the same as she did many years ago. I wish for him to be treated in a way that makes him happier.
