Hello! As the title says I really struggle with this. My ds is verbal and can now express most needs but being unwell/in pain is something he just can't express. He will say no to all questions about it but it is clear from his behaviour he is not himself. If anyone has any tips on how to help him communicate or at least seek out what he needs (ie being left alone) it would be great to hear. I'm not sure if like a lot of things those will come with development.
It's so hard to know how to help, whether to send him to school or even if he needs a Dr.
