What is Sabine true history not the one they kindly left out ?IamTerriffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060714843847074617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986763953726823274.post-41914441727577535752018-01-02T01:02:53.606-05:002018-01-02T01:02:53.606-05:00Hauntingly similar to my brother-in-law who was in...Hauntingly similar to my brother-in-law who was institutionalized after brain injuries caused by an aneurysm. The abuse is constant and unbearable. <br /><br />Ignored, even after symptoms of stoke, he is now incontinent, unable to care for himself and confined to a wheelchair. The facial expressions between Sabine and my brother-in-law are uncanny. I am convinced it's from being severely over-medicated for years. <br /><br />I'm sad for these two and all others in this situation. <br /><br />Is Sabine still coherent? Can she receive posters from NY?

I watched the film last night and it haunts me still. I can't get it off of my mind. I also believe that there seems to be a lack of scientific/ medical imput or concrete knowledge..surprisingly little from the medical/psychiatric personnel especially.<br /> I have created individualized education plans for children who have diagnoses on the autism spectrum and have worked closely with the families for the last 12 years and I honestly question the autism diagnosis in this case. I can't say for sure obviously, since I haven't seen any records and don't know her, but I worry about diagnoses of autism being confused with psychiatric diagnoses. It is sooo difficult to get typical society to correctly understand what autism actually is, it is a shame when it is (possibly) wrong.<br /> Anyway, I just thought I would add my 2 cents since I can't seem to get her out of my mind.Baileynoreply@blogger.com
