I'm just curious, have you ever gotten a new diagnosis now that you're older? I'm just skeptical of mental illness diagnoses in such young children. The brain can change in such drastic ways.

As for the content of the secret: I don't think there's anything to be forgiven for? I mean, you're not doing anything maliciously or with intent. You've found a nice way to adapt to your situation and make your friends feel cared for.

This. Empathy is very hit and miss with children.

Also, empathy is a thing that you can consciously work to improve. I don't know if you can make it appear out of nowhere if you don't have it, but if you can, say, feel sorry for a character in a cartoon, or something, that is a form of empathy, and you can use that to work on extending that empathy to other people. It takes years of effort, but it can be done.

Not to be nitcpicky, but feeling sorry for a character in a cartoon would be sympathy, not empathy. Empathy is when you put yourself in another person's shoes and can understand where they're coming from and what their point of reference is.

Whoops!

Then I must rectify: Feeling sympathy for a fictional character can be used as a base to develop empathy for real human beings.
