Don't Move A thing!

We were all having fun winter camping in the cottages, Brian was in # 2. Because of Catatonia, it was hard to get Brian to eat. So, I would ply him with food all the time, where ever he was & do all sorts of other things to get him to eat. We all did, really. But especially mom, of course. Stopping food and drink is a symptom of catatonia. So is the symptom of immobility/stupor -which is what is happening here. he will not allow anyone to move anything on the bed. Don't **change anything. *Change being a core issue with us due to autism. All the symptoms of autism are amped way up when Catatonia is present. The symptom of immobility is catatonia though, there is no such thing as immobility in autism. The symptom of Immobility on the checklist for Catatonia is the same as the symptom of stupor. I mean they are 2 different things but the same symptom. But immobility and a stupor will not be present at the same time. the person will have either immobility or a stupor and it is counted as the same symptom on the checklist. My apologies that he is in his skivvies, but things are covered and this is the reality of Brian's life. Brian never had a chance to have a voice. This is Brian's life story. I can't edit that out. But for the record, unjustly so -diapers are befitting the severe side of autism. That is his baseline reality -severe autism. This is him hanging out with Catatonia as well, which he developed at age 12 from a medicine called risperidone (risperdal). He is on the slow side of Catatonia in this video. there is a fast side and a slow side to catatonia.
