My name is and I have been on and off this list too many times to mention and I think I am currently subscribed under three e-mail addresses. I initially subscribed probably in 96 when I was in college and had all sorts of free time to read and respond. I am a twenty something achon living in the Peoria, IL area. I work for a Center for Independent Living assisting young adults with disabilities transition into adult life.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Dear friends, A tragedy in our neighborhood recently alerted me to a danger I had never considered. A 16-year-old boy with Asperger's, the son of another mother I know, recently died in his sleep. The night before, she thought he had the flu and called the doctor, who asked if his fever was under 100 degrees and also asked if he was urinating and vomiting. (Perhaps he was checking to see if the boy was dangerously dehydrated?) Her answer was yes, so the doctor thought it would be OK for him to stay at home and come in the next day to be checked. It now looks as if the boy had sudden-onset juvenile diabetes. He was always thirsty and was going to the restroom frequently at school, but hadn't mentioned this to his mother -- and nobody at school had noticed these symptoms and alerted her. He had never mentioned them to her either. He probably died after going into a diabetic coma. My own son often doesn't tell us when he isn't feeling well, but it's usually my husband who notices and asks if he's OK. I'm not writing this to scare everyone, but just to remind all of us (including myself) that we can't always depend on our kids to tell us if something is wrong. Love to all of you (and your kids!), Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
