Yesterday I was hugged at my day program.

Early Diagnosis (8yrs or younger)

Yesterday at my day program, I was hugged twice, one for comfort(?). She is an older lady with Down syndrome; she didn't want to go home early. The conversation started because another special needs person said they were ready to go home. The second one was for a hello.

I admit, I felt deeply uncomfortable and froze(she also had food in her mouth). I comforted myself by rocking and scratching my legs through my jeans.
