Sunday 8/19

Today is the day I did my empathy training and it is so hard. I choose to be mute and It is harder than I thought, I have to communicate in writing because any other way does not work. I tried mouthing the words but that's hard to understand, silent language wont work because I don't know it and trying express what I'm trying to say through movements is also hard. For times when I didn't have a pencil or notepad My mom could only ask yes/no questions so I could shake or nod my head. For breakfast we went to a restaurant so I wrote words on my ipad to tell the waitress what I wanted to eat and it was so weird and I felt so bad because I could not say please and thank you. I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
