My dogs paw print is destroyed

[u/ZenPixels]

When my dog died we got her paw print done, I just found out that my little sister completely ruined it. I can’t really be mad at her since she’s a 10 year old autistic child and I think this might have happened a month or two ago but I’m still angry and omg

Edit: I talked to her about it and she doesn’t remember it and was very confused about what I was showing her. I’m probably not gonna try to get it reprinted because it won’t be the same and it’ll probably be expensive, especially since I found her painted paw prints that I made with her the day before she died. Also the paw print was stored in a bookshelf in a hallway at my house, it wasn’t in my room because everyone loved that dog so it wasn’t on display, we didn’t think she would be interested in it but we think that she thought it was makeup and she has a habit of messing with and destroying makeup

Also I’m not going to break her stuff, I’m not going to teach her that breaking stuff when you’re mad at someone is okay.

....Hi,

It dose not work that way.

Its a disability, not an excuse.

Autism is a spectrum, including some people that literally do not have the capacity to understand complex norms, or even communication. It very much “dose” work that way sometimes. You do not know ops situation

Autism is a spectrum. If someone is on the end of the spectrum where they are medically considered intellectually disabled it’s absolutely an excuse. She said her sister cannot read, write, or remember things so it’s very likely her sister is closer to that part of the spectrum.

You should be a kinder person towards folks with severely impairing disabilities like that, their lives are hard enough.
