Severe autism, if unaddressed, can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
A poignant example involves a mother who, hesitant to implement enemas, faced dire consequences with her 16-year-old son.
His aggression escalated, nearly causing a fatal car accident by seizing her throat while she drove. Institutionalized, he was subjected to heavy medications, resulting later in severe liver and kidney damage.
The institution later proposed a lobotomy, leaving him wheelchair-bound, nonverbal, and generating $3,000 monthly for the care-facility with no recovery prospect for life.
