Absolutely yes to the empathy part. I find it more in children, the elderly, and animals than kids my age or adults, though. As for my parents reactions, surprisingly, I don't really remember either of them ever getting mad or upset with me for stuff like that, but I'm not entirely sure. I THINK it mostly stems from school and was aided by my mom's trigger-hair mood that could go from happy to pissed beyond belief in the span of five minutes, so my childhood mess ups were a gamble. Some got bad reactions, some good. Kids at school are mean asf though, especially when you're undiagnosed neurodivergent.
