he still slept in his mother's bed, I think he was 2 or something, & was not allowed to eat meat etc. & was allowed to do anything he wanted. But had to be supervised all the time.
The could be thought of as abuse. The lack of balance - I think that's what upsets children. And is abusive. And I think that kids with these types of problems often behave very spoilt, hyperactive and can't get any help, despite being and doing things that should help. His mother has created an environment to take out the things she thinks is bad, by reducing chemicals & bad influences, but how this is done without it being in the schools, is not fair.
Schools need to have very healthy choices. Saying that mentally one can live with one's differences - may be a matter much harder to address than doing good things that address the real concerns. I think that thinks are linked but are not necessarily connected. That other causes are much more likely. Such as hyperactivity or aggression. So that children don't feel they are abused, different & deprived, almost irrationally later, don't need labels that really reflect the flaws in thinking rather than actual disabilities or differences.
Because what they have is not what everyone else is like - children may be suffering things not usual for that age. Might be clingy etc. and imbalanced.
It just opens your eyes as to how not being accepted can happen.
