David is not like most other twelve year old boys. He's not got a favourite football team, he doesn't eat pizza and he's never played a game of Fortnite. But that's not surprising. David is autistic and part of this means he's also never tied his own shoes, independently brushed his own teeth or used spoken words to tell us anything other than his basic wants. One of my greatest concerns is that David will need to tell me something and he can't.
And one of the things I worry about him not being able to tell me... is if he is in pain.
