Or
246: Sarah's son can't talk about his pain
As parents, you want your child to be healthy and happy. And you’ll
do anything to make that happen.
But
that’s not always easy when your child is autistic.
Science
and medicine has learned a lot about autism, but there’s still a
lot of mystery around it as well. What causes it (if anything), how
to treat it… there are lots of questions that are still unanswered.
And a successful treatment protocol for one person might not work as
well for another one.
My
guest today is Sarah. She and her husband, Brian, have a son named
Devon, who has severe autism. Devon would have sudden behavior
incidents that often turned violent, and he could hurt himself, or
his parents, or his siblings. Of course, as his mother, Sarah wanted
desperately to help him. But it got to the point where she didn’t
know what to do.
Then
she found out about a hospital that could possibly help Devon. After
years of frustration and exhaustion, there was maybe some hope. And
with an adjustment in medication, she saw some progress with Devon.
What
horrified her was finding out what was actually happening at that
hospital.
