14 month old ds had a vaccination this afternoon and didn't cry at all. He also fell over whilst we were playing chase and he did cry lots then but he stopped crying when I picked him up and cuddled him.
He has cried a little at his previous vaccinations and he does sometimes cry when he falls over but often he bumps himself and doesn't seem to even notice.
Mil says that dp was very "brave" when he was little, she said if she heard him cry she knew it was really serious as he hardly ever cried. Dp's nephew (19 years old) fractured his cheek bone in a hockey match the other day, it looked terrible, swollen and purple but he said he was fine it didn't hurt.
Are some people genetically less effected by pain? I have read an unusual lack of reaction to pain can be an autism signal so I'm a little worried.
