    I don’t think she does it when she’s selfish, she just never thinks about it. Part of her social anxiety, probably. I don’t mind reminding her, but it does irritate me a bit even though I know it’s probably not something she’s able to help right now. Parenting is a minefield of emotions.

      For me it wasn’t that I was selfish or anything. I just didn’t think about it and therefore didn’t remember. She will probably have a light switch moment sometime in the future. We all grow and evolve afterall. Even autistics.
