HugMap FAQ
Feelings

Do children with disabilities also have feelings like happy, sad, and wanting to be friends?

Convey that even if the way of showing it differs, feelings are the same in everyone; even if it's hard to tell from their expression, they feel happy and sad.

For a child, you could say: "Of course. Just the way of showing it is different—happy, sad, and wanting to be friends are the same for everyone."
