| Résumé : |
This paper is a transcript of a conference presentation given to research scientists at the Wellcome Trust by the mother of a 15-year-old boy with autism. It gives a very moving and detailed account of her son’s development over the years and her response to his diagnosis. He has attended a number of different schools and his parents have tried many interventions in their quest to help their son. The presentation seeks to explain why parents often try several different treatments and comments on the effects of some of these. The paper ends with a plea to those involved in research to conduct studies that will help the lives of children with autism and, in so doing, those of their family. The paper also serves to raise awareness and to act as a reminder to professionals to bear in mind the emotional and physical impact of autism on families when talking to parents and carers. |
