As a Mum of an autistic girl, I must say Lyla’s mum is absolutely amazing. Her sensitivity & understanding of her daughter’s brain difference, means this little girl is in awesome hands. I wish them well, they are both so beautiful! 💕
I love when parents of autistic children tell you their autistic right from the get go...it's much easier to do what needs to be done when as a healthcare worker you're informed...Lyla's mum did great.
Lucy is a SUPER STAR Mum!!! And Sugar is an amazing man. This episode is so touching, even more than usual. BTW, we staff members conspired to let a husband bring the family's beloved pet rabbit to visit her in our inpatient mental health unit. The lady had a private room. The rabbit was super tame. Ride in a bowling ball bag, quiet & still. Box trained, so no mess during the brief visit. 1 RN had a double yellow head parrot -- very healthy -- with tips of flight wings trimmed. He talked & did tricks. He spent a short visit in the nurses' station, patients could choose if they wanted to pass by. The above all decades ago. I am now retired, since 2017. Blessings to all.
I am in Australia and I specialise in Autism Transition. This is where they finish school and all the support and tailored teaching that they have been given and used to ends, and they have to join the community to find their way. You cannot protect them from this. It's not fair to expect parents to have a lifelong obligation to effectively look after their adult Autism children 24/7 forever. They don't need this like other severe disabilities. The sooner that this occurs the better. Of course this only applies to those who are not severely disabled by it. We have funded transition programs to help them get used to being with strangers and to understand their condition. They need very firm boundaries and predictability. Thats makes them feel safer. You teach them to build these themselves and to plan their lives even down to even an hourly basis, because beneath it, they want to be like the other young people. The anger and frustration comes from not understanding why they are different and then accepting it.
@@marnidamoulakis3827 NSW. Our system places priority on enabling people to lead normal lives. In schools, these kids are not put into special classes except where its necessary. That makes it worse for them and hinders integration. They are put at the front of the class where a teacher can monitor them closely and give them support. This breakdowns the feeling of alienation.
I could totally understand if like it was a wild bird just flapping around in everybody’s face, but it’s quite obvious that that bird was quite tame like It’s not like somebody showed up with an orangutan or something
I grew up with undiagnosed autism and was ab*sed bc I wasn't "acting normal". I'm happy this mum is doing what she can to help her daughter and accommodate her needs. Love to her ❤
I really feel for Lyla as someone else with autism and adhd, I wasn’t diagnosed until i was 15 but her relationship with her mum reminds me so much of me and my mum. Even when I was younger and wasnt diagnosed my mum always tried her best to understand the things about me that were “different” and advocated for me in every way she could. my dad is also autistic (we realised he had it when i was getting diagnosed) and so he could understand me better but that did not stop my mum trying to help and understand both of us as best as she could. love you mum and dad💛
……had a horse rear-up on me, but I threw myself down from the waist, over his off shoulder, which brought him down onto his front hoofs’ again. Maybe the fact of riding since I was 8, &’ my then 15years’ of experience saved me a fall………
Lyla and mum, you both did fantastic. My heart was with you every step of the way from 🇨🇦. I know all too well what you both were going through. Lyla reminds me so much of my son at that age, she will exceed all expectations!
If you use meters/cm instead of pre-decimal mesurements, you can guess the height of the horse by putting a 0 at the end, due to average hand-width being 10 cm (4 inches), and is usually up to shoulder-height for the horse, not head due to movements/stability of the rider on it's back, during rides.
I have an autistic daughter, she's 24 now and still gets very overwhelmed with lots of situations, it's very hard as a mom to watch her go through these things, her melt downs are very emotional for both of us. I wish you luck for her future. Kids can be very mean to other kids.
Also, parrots get very bonded to their owners & often consider them their “mates.” They’re extremely intelligent animals & can literally die from the grief of separation. I don’t understand why people feel the need to dim someone else’s joy. He’s not hurting anyone, neither is his parrot. I’m sure the bird is healthy & free of disease/parasites. Without that bird, that patient mightn’t have made it. Let’s not go overboard in over-dramatising situations. Remember, everyone used to openly smoke in hospitals. In comparison, I think a parrot is a minor concession to make!
I'm sure the legal system has laws in place for medical use of fentanyl and ketamine. The illegal use came after reactions of the drugs from medical use was noticed
It really peeves me off to think that a mother could even have the slightest fear that her children would be judged for something so stupid I mean, seriously who the hell judges somebody just because they have a physical or mental disability
If your statement means you've gone through life without you or your loved ones being bullied, I'm super happy for you. Both adults and kids can be really mean to/exclude others because they're different. It happens more often than you might think.
I am so sorry for I don’t know what to say like I am the least judgemental person out there and while I appreciate your replies, it really infuriates me that people look down on people like that
I absolutely love 24 Hours In A&E it’s my favorite tv show along side In The Night Garden Justin’s House and Show Me Show Me and 999 On The Frontline and Emergency Helicopter Paramedics and Billie and Greg The Family Diaries and Ferne McCann My Family And Me
I was diagnosed with Aspergers aged 7. I would fall over as a child and not cry. Unless I had physical signs they couldn't always tell if I was unwell or hurt. High pain threshold when I had appendix issues aged 19.
I don’t get what everybody’s big deal with this parrot is like it stays on his hand. It’s nice it’s friendly. Personally, I would love for that thing to come climb over to me and say hi.
I have a phobia of birds. If one flies or flaps their wings near me I have a severe anxious moment. I'm sure that any hospital wouldn't want patients to be screaming and running around.
@@cynhiacations9879I love birds but agree with you. Then again, I knew a girl afraid of balloons and you see them quite often in hospital lol. Of course way less potential for chaos with a balloon.
The hospital is lucky to have the security guard who spoke on this video he is a big asset I am sure they appreciate him Lila’s mother needs some help she was great but then lost it which didn’t help her child. She is looking for things that are not there.
I was surprised to find out that technically speaking fentanyl and heroin are actually used in professional capacity, of course, in the medical system I don’t know it kind of shocks me that you see the way that they abused outside of our hospital
That mum needs to do better at masking her victim mentality. Its going to spread to her child. You NEED to push your children to be brave and just get on with things sometimes and not always pander. There is a fine line between being aware of her daughters autism and just simply letting her child rule the roost. And before anyone says anything i have a 16 year old with ADHD and autism and im telling you now, you cant be saying awww poor baba everytime they are in a stressful situation.
No offense, but I mean seriously for people saying that they would flip their lid just because there’s an animal around what is wrong with you like it’s not harming you
Here is one difference between NHS and American Drs - no way would American Drs waited 2 full years, 18 different antibiotics to do something different, more serious to find out what was going on with the beautiful Lyla.
Agreed. She is abusive and aggressive. I know it's her condition but the fact is she clearly has violent tendencies. It would have been safer for all if she was sedated.
@@melmazing3993 Are you high? She is a little girl who was surrounded by a bunch of so-called medical professionals who should have known how to handle the situation. Instead, they surrounded her touching and talking to her at the same time. They had no idea what they were doing. They caused all of her emotional trauma. Based on their behavior it is surprising that they were able treat her at all.
Sedation requires a breathing tube in a surgical suite or resuscitation room, that would be a last resort. Just the gas and air was traumatic for her because she has been through a lot and has autism!
@@cindycreateforlifethere is a thing called conscious sedation. This would’ve been a good idea for her. They’re asleep until the med is stopped and then wake up immediately.
Hubby and I couldn’t have children. Cheated is a good word about how that feels. Especially when your friends are having abortions and then getting pregnant again and again and keeping those children.
To each their own, but I mean whenever there’s an animal around animals are usually the most loving yeah that comment just goes to prove why so many people say that people suck
Exactly , people think and act individually. I like most animals but I understand that others don’t . I think as long as no upset caused it’s ok but I get that others see it as unhygienic and they could be scared . We are all unique in our likes and dislikes.
@40:10 These so-called medical professionals handled this wrong. There were too many of them surrounding her at one time. Surprising that they were able to treat her. They caused all of her trauma. Her mother should have filed a complaint against all of them.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder These so-called professionals ramped up her fears. This little girl is autistic and suffers from ADHD. They were wrong 100%. They should have known better. They are very fortunate that I am not her mother.
@@PatriciaShannon-vy4uoThey were definitely not the best! A child life specialist could’ve been helpful here too, and her Mom is incredible. Such a challenging situation and I really felt for both Lyla and her Mom.
With respect I would just have to put it to you that it probably IS a support animal and if that is the only prerequisite needed for you to be comfortable with it, then just tell yourself that it’s a support animal lol. But in defence of the gentleman that owned the parrot, it’s almost certain that when he left his house that day, he didn’t have a clue that he was going to end up in the emergency room lol. At least he had it in a little backpack and could keep it in there and not out in the open where it could get injured or make someone uncomfortable. Which seems a lot less complicated and cumbersome that a support dog.
