Re: Frustration--personality issues

Hey there

How affected is her brain? was the sweetest loving child, but his brain was mainly affected and as he regressed, he developed dementia. The first big issue we had with it lasted five days...five days of inconsolable crying.

Usually he would just get beside himself over something he couldn't do or something he couldn't understand properly. He sometimes would go in the hallway and think people were laughing about him, which of course, wasn't true. He would get to this point of no return and we would taco-him in a blanket and get him to bed...calm him down with a video. Sometimes he would remember it and sometimes he wouldn't. The more activity he had in the day, the worse it could be later in the day.

He probably always had some autistic tendencies, especially having to have some things the same way allt he time. A good number of mito kids have autistic traits...some have full blown autism...the mito docs know its related in some cases but they don't know why yet.

If you ever want to talk more about those behaviors, you are welcome to write me off the list.
